Thanks! I really don't think it will be presented; I checked with the person I sent it to, and she thinks she tore it up, but she wasn't sure. So, I'll carry it until I close the account. On Mon, Mar 4, 2024 at 11:22 PM David Reiser wrote: > Before you get tempted to pay for a stop-payment

Chris I support Adrien here - he is trying to assist you to get to the end-point you want. HTML reports can be imported into any decent word processing software. You don't need to edit the HTML code. And you can make financial reports look great using a spreadsheet - I've been doing that for
