Changing Report, Chart and Check Printing
Want to adjust or fine-tune the way that Microsoft Money prints reports or checks? No problem. The File menu provides powerful commands for getting your reports, charts and checks to look just the way you want.
Changing the way reports and charts print
To change the way Money prints reports and charts, choose the File menu’s Print Setup
command and then choose Report And Chart Setup from the submenu. Money then displays the Report And Chart Setup dialog box.
You can use this dialog box to alter the way that Money prints reports and charts. For example, use the Printer list box to specify which Windows printer you want Money to use for printing. Use the Orientation buttons—Portrait and Landscape—to select the direction in which Money prints its reports and charts on a piece of paper. Finally,
use the Paper Size and Source boxes to select a paper size and the tray that you want
to use for printing.
NOTE Which options appear in the paper area of the dialog box depends on your
printer. Different printers provide different paper options.
Click the Options button to display the Printer Properties dialog box. The options in
this dialog box give you extensive control over a printer’s operation. How this dialog
box works is beyond the scope of this short article, so if you have questions, refer to your
Windows documentation or the information that came with your printer.
NOTE The printers that Money lists in the Report And Chart Setup dialog box are
actually the printers you have installed for use with Windows. In order to use a printer with the Money program or any other Windows program, you need to first add the printer using the Windows Add New Printer tool. If you have questions about how the Add New Printer tool works, refer to your Windows documentation.
Changing the way a printer prints checks
You can also change the way that your printer prints any checks you produce. To do this, choose the File menu’s Print Setup command and then choose Check Setup to display the Check Setup dialog box.
The Printer box lists the printers you can use for producing checks. To select a different printer, click the Printer list box’s button and select the printer you want to use.
Money provides Type and Source boxes for specifying the type of check form you are
using and the printer tray source that holds the checks. To specify which type of check
you are using, click the Type list box’s button and select the correct type. The Source
list box displays the different paper sources that your printer supplies. Which sources
you have depends on your printer.
NOTE Next to the Type and Source list boxes Money shows a picture of the check.
Selecting the Require Address For Payee When Printing Checks check box tells
Money that whenever you enter a check that you say you later want to print, Money
should require an address. Select this check box if you plan to use envelopes with
windows. The check payee and address block provides the information that shows
through the envelope window.
NOTE Click the Font button to specify which font and point size you want Money to use for printing the checks. To specify a font, click the Font box’s button and select a font from the list. To specify the size for the font, click the Size box’s button and select a size from the list. Money shows you what your font and size specification look like in the sample box.

Customizing Microsoft Money Check Printing
To change the way Money prints checks, choose the Tools menu’s Options command and click the Print Checks tab. Money displays the Print Checks dialog box.
Setting the Printing Checks Options
The Printing Checks box has check boxes that let you specify several criteria.
Selecting the Prompt If Checks Are Postdated check box tells Money to confirm that you want to print checks that use a date in the future.
Selecting the Print Payee Name In First Line Of Address Field check box tells Money to print the payee name in the address block. (You want to print the payee name in the address block if you plan to mail the checks using an envelope with a window.)
Selecting the Use My Existing Checks From Quicken check box tells Money that you are going to use checks that you originally purchased for Quicken with the Money program. Money needs to know if you are using Quicken checks because they are slightly different from Money checks.
Click the Font button to control which font Money uses for the checks it prints.
Changing the Check Printing Fonts
Clicking the Font button displays the Check Printing Font dialog box. This dialog box is easy to use. Use the Font list box to specify a font. Use the Size list box to specify a size for the font. Notice that Money shows how your font specification will look in the sample box. If you make changes to the font, be careful to use one that is legible and adequately sized.
Adjusting the Printing Alignment
The Printing Alignment box has options that allow you to make several important specifications about the actual check forms themselves. For example, the Full Sheet Of Checks Vertical Alignment box lets you specify whether Money needs to begin higher or lower on the page. If Money should be printing lower on the page, enter a value in the box. One equals 1/16th of an inch. A positive value means that Money should move the printed information down the page. A negative value means that Money should move the printed information up the page.
The Full Sheet Of Checks Horizontal Alignment box works in the same way— except that it controls whether Money should move its printing to the left or the right.
Again, one equals 1/16th of an inch. If you want to move the printed information to the right, enter a positive value. If you want to move the printed information to the left, enter a minus value.
The Partial Sheet Of Checks Vertical Alignment box and the Partial Sheet Of Checks Horizontal Alignment box work in the same way as their full sheet counterparts.
However, these alignment settings affect only those situations in which you are printing a partial sheet of checks. Again, you need to remember the following points: one equals 1/16th of an inch; if you want to move the printing down or to the right, enter a positive value; and if you want to move the printing up or to the left, enter a minus value.
NOTE In general, if you are working with an inkjet or laser printer, you should have no problem with check alignment. Check alignment problems usually occur only when working with an impact printer.
