Glenn:

The calibrate command is alt f l.    

When you do this, the check type is the first tab.  the next tabs look very 
much like a transaction selection, as you are viewing the fields.  Since it is 
unclear exactly what is happening, without any error messages or more of a 
description, here are some instructions for review.  

From the manual:

Adjusting All the Fields at Once

If all the fields need to be moved in a direction, use the offset controls in 
the Calibrate Check dialog to indicate that direction. If, for example, 
everything on the check needs to be moved down by .5 inches, add .5 inches to 
the value in the Move Down control. At the same time, if all the fields are 
printed too far to the right by .25 inches, subtract .25 inches from the Move 
Right control.

Moving Individual Fields
If one or more fields need to move, move to that field on the dialog and either 
drag the box that field indicates in the desired direction, or use the 
Shift+Arrow keys to move the field in the indicated direction. Shift+Down, for 
example, moves the field down by 1/16 inches with each press of the key 
combination.

Widen and Narrow Field: Alt+Left and Alt+Right
In addition to moving the position of each field, you may need to expand or 
narrow the width of the column. Narrowing the width of a column may become 
particularly important when large fonts are used. If, for example, you have a 
memo with 25 characters and you are using a particularly large font, you will 
want to narrow the memo field so the program can cut off the part of the memo 
that would make it print too far to the right on the check.

Subject: [moneytalks] Got new printer 

Hello all, I've been using Money Talks for a couple of years now and like it 
very much. My old printer was a HP 1600 ink jet and it died. I purchased a 
new HP 2050 ink jet and when I go and try to calibrate a check the account 
registry comes up with the calibration field and no matter what I do I can't 
calibrate a check . I use the so called voucher check with one check per 
sheet and it talks about using the business setting for that style of check. 
If I select that and then go in and try to print a check with alt K nothing 
happens. Any ideas on this.
Many thanks in advance,
Glenn
