Check Printing Font

John: Thanks for the reply. That explains it. Apparently the font I want to use conforms to the new "Check 21" rules because I have been using it on all of my personal and business checks up until about a week ago and have never had any problems with it. But I now understand why Quicken does what it does with the font.

Speaking of "Check 21" I have one other question related to that. Another provision of Check 21 is a new location for the Memo line near the lower left of a check. The memo line on my newest voucher checks from Quicken is raised up about a quarter-inch compared to where it was on my old checks (printed pre Check 21 rules). The problem I have now is that Quicken still prints any memo text in the old pre-Check 21 location. Is there any way to deal with that?

Odd. What little I've read on the subject led me to believe that only folks with old checks (or new checks and older Quicken versions) would have a problem with the location of fields. And I don't print checks in Quicken so I have no experience.

In the Check Printer Setup dialog, there is an "Align" button. It's possible that you could fiddle with the vertical alignment and make some improvements ... or not: I think it moves everything, not just certain fields; but sometimes you can make a compromise with an option like this that makes things a bit better. (There is some info on the process in Help, Search, under "What should I do if the date or logo gets cut off".)

You could also try Intuit tech-support or the Quicken forums if no one here has a better answer.

John:

As you said, the Align feature does move everything. I need to move just the memo text up about a quarter-inch. I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem. (I did not have this problem until I got my new checks from Quicken about a month ago. The new checks have the raised Memo line.)

In my Quicken 2007 Premier, there are two separate check styles that can be selected: "Wallet Checks" and "Wallet Checks (Check 21 imag".

I don't know what this changes in the check setup, but does it make any difference in your problem?

Gary: Neither one solves my problem because I'm using Voucher checks, not Wallet checks. I suppose what is needed is a "Voucher Check 21 Image" option but that doesn't seem to exist.
