I just tested the
"Print Checks" action and a message kicks back "No checks to be
printed".</p>
<p>And, Yes, the check has a check number associated with it.</p>
<p>I think that there may be a glitch in the Mac version of MD.</p></div>james ftag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/2957262009-08-09T15:44:25Z2009-08-09T15:46:35ZProblem printing checks<div><p>There is no glitch.</p>
<p>I was fooling around with MD.</p>
<p>Figured out that in the Check# field, you must enter {print}
from the pull down menu, instead of putting a check number in
there.</p></div>james ftag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/2957262009-08-10T14:37:36Z2009-08-10T14:37:41ZProblem printing checks<div><p>OK, got it, after 5 minutes of experimentation. You print checks
by (1) entering a new transaction with in the check # field. You
cannot print checks from existing transactions without in the check
# field. When you select "print checks" from the pull down menu, it
looks for all rows with in the check # field.<br></p>
<p>This information might help the next soul stuck.</p></div>Tom Kellertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/2957262009-08-10T14:52:13Z2009-08-10T14:52:13ZProblem printing checks<div><p>Hi</p>
<p>I am sorry I didn't respond t your question sooner. Just to
clarify the process for other users who might read this thread I am
pasting the relevant section of th of the help documentation:</p>
<p>Printing Checks:</p>
<p>It is possible to print Moneydance transactions on virtually any
style of pre-printed checks. To print checks with Moneydance you
will first need to obtain pre-printed check stock, including any
account number, routing number, or sort code that will need to be
on the check. Moneydance will print the date, amount, payee, memo,
and optionally the address of a payee on your checks.<br>
To use the check-printing feature, you will need to mark some of
your transactions as to-be-printed. This can be done by setting the
check number field for the transactions to be printed as "{Print}".
When you select the Actions->Print Checks function, Moneydance
will locate any transactions with "{Print}" in the check number
field, print them onto paper checks, and put the number of the
paper check into the check number field.</p>
<p>In order to print the address of a payee on the paper check you
will first need to make sure that an address book entry has been
associated with the transaction to print. If an address book entry
has been associated with a transaction, the @ symbol will appear
next to the payee name in the transaction editor. You will also
need to select the "Print Addresses" option for the style of check
you are printing. This can be done in the Check Printing section of
the Preferences window.</p>
<p>I hope this help.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>
<p>Ben Spencer</p></div>Ben Spencertag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/2957262009-08-10T15:52:31Z2009-08-10T15:52:31ZProblem printing checks<div><p>Ben, thank you very much.Where can I get a copy of the help

<p>Is that menu option not available on your installation? What
version of Moneydance are you using? You can likely upgrade for
