Can I fill out checks with Word or Excel?

[Ray@TastyDollars]

heres the deal, I have penmanship of a 12 year old....its fugen ugly. I was wondering if one could set up Excel or Word to enter amounts. dates, etc..if so how? Is there a good tutorial I can read.

What about another quick program thats easy to learn?


For The Haters:

1- STFU..Im sure your penmanship is da shit
2- Yea I know we are in 2004 and that question is like pre 1990..lol

you will have to give then bank your signature so they can compare it to the checks -

actually having a fucked up signature is the best way to avoid fraud. if you have an e-signature anyone can steal it and write checks all the way to cuba!! worse you can do - harder it is to duplicate - safer for you

think about it.

but no, word and excel cant do it automatically unless you save am image of it then copy / paste it into the final version - but remember, if in court, you are not going to be able to prove its your since you can write it yourself

Word or Excel are probably the wrong tool for that although, you could probably design something in either one to handle it. A better option is quicken or any of the others out there that have actual check printing built in.

if you were to do it in word, you would want to define a custom paper size to match the check you wanted to print on. You could then add text boxes to the document in the various places you want to print. Save it, then enter the info, slide the check in he printer an go. Be prepared to waste out a lot of paper getting it all defined properly.

Hi Ray - I going to have to defer to sarettah that you are needing an accounting software to handle this application. What your talking about is similar to writing a newspaper article in PhotoShop.
