Q2018Mac: Alignment Check Issue

edited September 2018 in Errors and Troubleshooting (Mac)
Q2018Mac:
When printing an 'alignment check' I was unable to 'move' (1) Payee (2) Address (3) Memo independently of one another.  If you adjust one, the entire check is 'moved' accordingly.  I am using Voucher Checks supplied by Intuit (Q2007Mac) and my supply is less than 10 so I am about to reorder another group of voucher checks.
Questions:
(1) Is one unable to align fields independently of one another in Q2018Mac?
(2) How does the adjusted alignment get saved for future check printings? Is it automatic?
(3) From whom should I order my next group of voucher checks so that they "match" the default Q2018Mac Alignments?

    Quicken US or Canada?

    Canadian checks are formatted differently than US checks and appear not supported at this time, unless you can find a format named "Voucher - Image ready".

    Check alignment is for the entire form only. You cannot adjust individual field positioning.
    AFAIK, your alignment X, Y settings are remembered for the future.

    US check reordering:

    QuickBooks but the same style checks also work with Quicken). You can order "Quicken compatible checks" from any check printer.

    Quicken US.  In my opinion, it is a Q2018Mac shortcoming not to allow each 'field' on the check to be aligned individually.

    If your printer is set up correctly for
    - 8.5*11" standard paper (not auto-detect form size),
    - no zoom/reduction factor selected,
    - simplex (not duplex) printing 
    - and printing in standard page order (not reverse page order)
    then everything should work properly.
    The Memo text may be printing a little low, but still within the form if all the other fields, especially Date and numeric Amount print within their assigned areas.

    Yes to the above questions.  The alignment worked perfectly with Q2007Mac, but not with Q2018Mac (I've only printed 1 check with Q2018Mac).  The voucher check stock I'm using was originally ordered through Intuit QuickBooks.

    The layout of Voucher checks hasn't changed in years.
