Hello Gerard, Yes, you can edit the check layout. The location of the file to edit depends on the operating system you have. On my Windows installation it is at C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash\checks.
You can find instructions how to edit the coordinates of the objects at [1]https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml. Click on The Tutorial and Concepts Guide, then Auxiliary File Formats in Appendix B. That describes the check format file setup, and how to modify them or create a new one. I recommend that you copy the Quicken/Quickbooks 3-part check file and save it with another name, so the original remains unchanged. Note that you will need to change the Guid in the file. I have not found it critical what that is--I have just changed a character or two of what is in the original. The check print fields can be shifted by changing the coordinates. The coordinate numbers represent points, 72 to an inch. It can be helpful to set Show_Grid to true to help in the field placement. I wish you success.

My checks mostly align but the written check amount and the items below that are off by about 1/2 a line. I haven't been able to locate the file that has that layout. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [2]gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: [3]https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
