personal check printing
Why Excel? Why not Word? And if you are wanting to do multiple checks or repeating this on a scheduled (e.g., monthly) basis, use Excel as the source for a Word Mail Merge.
The reason I would suggest Word: you will have a lot more control over placement of the text in Word. There may even be (or you could create) a template that is designed for pre-printed checks.
I don't know how to do it on word either
As I said, the formatting--getting things to print in the right spaces--would be easier to control in Word, though it would take some tinkering.
But you could also do what I just did and google the request for templates for check printing. One result, of many, is the one linked here. That link includes instructions for how to use the Excel template that you can download free.
