To customise the cheque form

If you haven't already read the Forms Overview, see Tips for customising cheques for more information.

Note: An entire cheque form has two parts

An entire cheque form has two parts-the cheque form and the stub form. To customise the entire cheque form, you'll need to perform two separate tasks: customise the cheque form and customise the stub form.

  1. Open the cheque form you want to modify using the Customise window. (See To open the form in the Customise window if you need to learn how to do this.) Notice that only the fields for the cheque, not for the stub, appear in the window
  2. Open the Form menu at the top of your computer screen; notice that the Cheque Layout command is selected. This indicates that you're currently viewing the layout for the cheque form only.
  3. Customising the cheque form is the same process as customising any other form: you can move, activate and inactivate data fields and add, remove and change the characteristics of text fields, lines, rectangles and pictures.
