   When I look at the printed output it's far from what I expect to see. For
one thing, I specify the data format to use the abbreviated month name; it
prints as a number. More importantly, when I look at the values in the saved
file they have no relation to the numbers entered in the Custom Format
dialog. Values entered are in millimeters; are they saved as points?

 	  Custom format:	Saved file:
Name:	  35.0; 70.0		99.210999999999999;198.422;
Date:     180.0; 20.0		510.22800000000001;56.692;
Amt Wds:  25.0; 46.0		70.864999999999995;130.392;

and so on.

   But, the printed output is off. For example, the payee's name is 56 mm
down from the top of the check, not 70 mm.

   I must be missing something here and would appreciate a clue stick.
