Separate checks, not 200 payees on one check. Anyway to do this easily?

I'm thinking mail merge in MS Word easy?

I don't have Quickbooks or anything similar.

Thanks in advance.

Same amounts? A page of checks, not single checks?

On 2 side "jobs" I use excel to print checks for the bills/employees. Date, check #, name, amount. Setup your print area/fields. google excel "number to text" macro to convert the $$ to words.

Yes, I'm treasurer of my HOA and I'm doing a dues refund to all members in good standing because the organization is in pretty good financial shape.

Do you use special paper?

Screw that. Just credit their accounts and be done with it.

Would probably be easier to just lower the dues for next year.

Would probably make people happier, too. Of course I guess that depends on how much $$ we're talking about.

Don't "lower the dues". Just credit the account of the members in good standing and they will see a one time, reduced bill next year as a result.

You can get checks that come on 8.5x11" paper that go nicely in the printer. I've seen two kinds. They usually come 1 or 3 to a page.

If you do that please make sure to include a statement about why that was done. You'll probably wind up getting more than a few phone calls about how the bill is incorrect.

I agree, but a form letter is easier to do than 200 checks ;)

We thought about crediting accounts. We've already reduced dues by 20% for the 2012 dues that were paid 1/31/2012. We just don't want to hold money until next January and the positive PR of sending a check will be another nice benefit.

This, ordered from Harland. 1 check per page, 3 parts. I re print the check on the other 2 parts. 1 gets stapled to the bill, 1 gets stacked for my check register.

Then hand write them. GLHF.
