[SL] Cheque template help requested.

[Jeff R. <je...@jr...>]

Hi Everyone

I modified my latex file to print cheques in the new format required 
starting this spring in Canada. Everything seems to work as long as I am 
only paying one invoice. If I pay two or three invoices the extra lines 
printed in the top third of the page push the information down in the 
cheque body. If I pay one invoice everything lines up, if i pay two then 
the cheque body is down a line, by the time i try to pay three cheques 
all at once the cheque information is totally out of place.

I tried to find out how to correct this by reading my copy of "The not 
so short introduction to Latex" but couldn't figure it out. I think it 
may have to do with boxes?

Here is my cheque code:

/*\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage[letterpaper,top=2cm,bottom=-3cm,left=2.25cm,right=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\pagestyle{myheadings}
\thispagestyle{empty}

\fontfamily{cmss}\fontsize{12pt}{12pt}\selectfont

<%company%>

\vspace{0.5cm}

<%name%> \hfill <%datepaid%> \hfill <%source%>

\vspace{0.5cm}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{lXrr@{}}
\textbf{Invoice \#} & \textbf{Invoice Date}
  & \textbf{Amount Due} & \textbf{Applied} \\
<%foreach invnumber%>
<%invnumber%> & <%invdate%> \dotfill
  & <%due%> & <%paid%> \\
<%end invnumber%>
\end{tabularx}

\vspace{1cm}

\text{Memo: } \
<%memo%>

\vspace*{3.5cm}

\hfill <%source%>

\vspace*{.75cm}

\hfill <%datepaid%>

\vspace*{1.75cm}

<%text_amount%> \dotfill <%decimal%>/100 \makebox[4cm]{\hfill}

% \hfill <%datepaid%> \makebox[2cm]{\hfill} <%amount%>

\hfill <%amount%>  \makebox[1cm]{\hfill}

% different date format for datepaid
% <%DD%><%MM%><%YYYY%>

%\vspace{0.25cm}

<%name%>

<%address1%>
<%address2%>

<%city%>
<%if state%>
\hspace{-0.1cm}, <%state%>
<%end state%>
<%zipcode%>

<%country%>

\vspace{0.25cm}

<%memo%>

\vfill

\end{document}

Thanks in advance
