One of my employees checks has an "a" just to the right of the numerical check amount.
 
We're using the customized RTM that has the Pay Rate on it, and answering "Yes" to print pay rate, as if that has something to do with it.
 
I don't suppose it hurts anything, it's just kind of strange.

That may be... except that his brother also works for us and it's not on his check

Lynn,
Ran the weekly payroll.  The "odd" characters continue to appear on some of the checks.  This time it was the first and the last check.  (Could have been a problem on the last check before, but just didn't catch it)
 
The odd character is right after the numerically written amount of the check.  The first check had a square box with a colon after it.  The last check had a square box with a 3 after it.
 
Need to see what is causing this problem, since we need to rerun checks-especially if they have extra numbers popping up in them.
 
Thanks

Plain Arial.

Karen & Dave - are you both using Evo to print checks?  I think you two are the only ones that I sent the PR-D patch to that fixed the Evo error - nobody else is using Evo and Payroll.  I will look and see if the "fix" managed to cause this other print problem.

Yes, Evo.

Tried Courier New-Did not resolve the problem, it actually cut part of the date off also.  Printed OK to screen but when checks printed, the last character on the date did not print.
 
Got the funky characters next to the pay amount-same problem we've been having.

I changed the font to Courier New. Still get the "a", and now a little square box between the last penny and the "a".
 
Tried from TP5WDBA, got a whole bunch of error messages (maybe because I modifed the form with the Tas6 editor?) but eventually got past them, and no extraneous characters.
