Strong suggestion  ------ if you are printing checks or invoices for a 
business and intend to mail these in window envelopes do NOT attempt to 
do final editing within gnucash. In stead, "print to file" so a final 
formatting program has a chance to modify before printing. Then when the 
"unexpected" happens and it will << example -- new batch of envelopes, 
supposedly the same as the previous, has window a couple mm higher, 
lower, left, or right >> you can quickly make the adjustment in that 
final editing program instead of in gnucash (and the having to rerun).

Initially, your final edit program can be "do nothing" (pass through 
unaltered)

Michael D Novack      ex senior systems analyst/senior business analyst 
who in working days often had to field emergency calls from the print 
room to quickly write an edit to make stuffing fit with address properly 
centered in window. The suppliers of window envelopes rarely inform 
their customers that they made a slight change to model XYZ envelope.
