Money 98: State and ZIP Code on Separate Lines on Printed Checks (177950)

SYMPTOMS

When printing checks in Money 98, the state and the ZIP/Postal Code are printed on separate lines below the city. This format is not approved by the U.S. Postal Service.

For example, if you enter the City, State and ZIP/Postal Code of a payee in the appropriate payee boxes, your output looks like this

   Microsoft
   Team Wallstreet
   2199 Water Ridge Parkway
   Charlotte
   NC  28217

rather than correct output like this:

   Microsoft
   Team Wallstreet
   2199 Water Ridge Parkway
   Charlotte, NC  28217

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, change the way the address is entered in the Payee Details area of Money by following these steps:

On the navigation bar, click Categories.
Click Payees.
Select the payee whose address is printing incorrectly, and then click Go To Payee.
In the Payee Details area, enter the City, State and Zip code in the City box. For example, if your city is Charlotte, your state is North Carolina, and your ZIP/Postal Code is 28217-0001, you would enter the following in the City box (leaving the State and Zip/PC boxes empty):
Charlotte, NC 28217-0001
NOTE: If your city, state and ZIP/Postal code do not all fit in the City box, enter this information in the second line of the Address box.
