The wording style you select depends on the layout of the pre-printed check. For example, some checks have blocks into which the amount in words is printed or written, while others have lines on which the amount in words is printed or written.

	The wording for check amounts greater than nine hundred and ninety nine million (999 999 999.00) is 'thousand million' and not 'billion.' The reason for this is that a billion in the USA represents a different value to a billion in the UK. Therefore, the amount in words for a value such as 1 200 000 000.00 is 'One thousand two hundred million.'

This can be based on your system date format or a user defined date format (i.e. Short date or long date). These formats are defined within the System Setup program.

This field is displayed if you selected either Words in boxes or Digits in boxes at the Check amount wording style field.

Indicate the maximum number of decimals places allowed for the check amount, or the number of blocks to be printed to the left of the decimal character on the check.

	If the actual check amount exceeds the number of digits you have catered for, then the full amount of the check is printed (up to a maximum of 12 digits to the left of the decimal). The check is printed with either the number of digits specified here or the full amount of the check, whichever is greater.

The values entered against the First invoice line starts on row and Last invoice line ends on row determine the number of invoice detail lines on the document.
