[GNC] {Spam} Editing the Quicken/Quickbooks check layout

[Sherman Yoder]

   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.

   Sherman

     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.
