Printing checks

Have checked knowledge base and not found an answer.
When I want to print a check I put "{Print}" in the check number space and when I go to actions and pick print checks I get a window saying I have no checks to print. I have done this before and after I have entered the transaction, with and without a check number.
What am I doing wrong?

   Did you hit the "return" key after you put "{Print}" in the check number space?

   Yes, as I said in my statement I tried to print before and after I had
   entered the transaction into my register. I tried it by hitting the
   return key and tried it by hitting the enter key on my number pad.

   Hi donter2

   I spoke with the developer about this case and he was surprised saying "that shouldn't be possible". Do you think you could take a screenshot (press print screen on your keyboard) of the transaction window and attach it to this discussion.

   I am sorry for the inconvienience this is causing you.

   Sincerely

   There shouldn't be quotations marks around {Print}. When I select {Print} from the dropdown menu, there are no quotation marks, so I'm not sure how yours ended up there. Did you type it in manually?

   Hi donter2

   John is correct there should not be quotation marks around {Print}. The algorithm that looks for checks that need printing specifically looks for a string that begins with { and ends with }

   If you did not add the quotation marks your self and they appeared automatically, what operating system are you runing and what version of java?

   This is from the MD help menu I took the quotation marks as what should
   be outside of the brackets. Thanks for the help, now if you will tell
   me how to edit a transaction that has been entered, EI one has put the
   wrong amount in a wishes to change it, and this is found out as you are
   reconciling your statement. I know I am not the only one that does
   this. I could not find the answer in any of the MD help menus.
   Thanks again for your help.

   Hi Don

   To edit a transaction double click it in the transaction register.

   Sincerely
