Can I change the size of the form in order to print 2 checks per page?

You can customize your own forms any way you would like. In the Forms Designer, simply customize a form that will print 2 checks per page.

However, you cannot print 2 different and separate checks (like 101 and 102) using the Forms Designer. The checks must be the same number. Forms Designer is currently designed to print only one check per page because the size of the template is fixed. You can only choose from continuous (9 ½" x 7") or laser (8 ½" x 11") size for the template size.

Is there any way to change the default number of invoices/items per form? In other words, is there a way to fit more invoices on a form before it creates an overflow form?

You can increase the number of invoices printed in a detail grid (on A/P checks, PO's, A/R invoices, and Customer Statements) by modifying the detail grid's row height (you may also need to edit the font to fit the new row height) and/or grid size.

How can I tell how many invoices will print in a detail grid on a form?

To view the number of rows that will print on the form, select the Properties of the grid (right-click on the grid, and then select Properties). Click the Detail tab and select the Horizontal Lines option. You can now count the number of rows of invoices/items that will print in the grid before it moves to an overflow form. Be sure to clear the Horizontal Lines after your count if you do not want them to actually print on your forms.

How do you view the background color on the form that outlines the spacing but does not actually print?

The background color is called the template. You can activate the template by clicking Select Template on any open form to turn the template on or off. If you select a default form from the template selection on the Create New Layout form, the template will be "on" by default. To turn the template off, simply select "None" on the Select Template form.

You can also click Show/Hide Grid to display or hide the grid lines on your screen.

Can I print a background color on my own form?

No. You can change the background and text colors of any field but not for the entire form.

How do I modify the title headings in a table/grid?

Access the properties of the grid (right-click on the grid, and then select Properties) and click the Detail tab. You can change column headings or choose not to display columns.

How do I get "VOID" to print on the first check where the invoices are more than the first check stub supports, so the actual check prints on the second form?

Create a text field on the check where you want VOID to appear. In the Text Properties, click on the Conditions tab and select Overflow Forms from the drop down list. This will print the word VOID on only the overflow checks.

How do you get the signature to print only when the amount is $5,000 (USD) or less?

Access the signature properties (right-click on the signature, and then select Properties) and select the Conditions tab. Click the "Make a Rule" button and move Check Amount to the Selected Filter box. For Compares To select < Less Than, and for Criteria 1 enter $5,000.01 (USD). Click OK.
