One frustration solved...
kMyMoney only comes with two check printing templates, neither of which fit my pre-printed checks. Online sources told me I'd have to either write my own template in HTML or edit either of the others. I am NOT a programmer and could not write a line of HTML code if my life depended on it. And it turns out there are no existing WYSIWYG (you can look it up) programs for Linux Mint to help non-geeks like me. I played with some online programs but couldn't figure out how to save the compiled code.
THEN, I happened to discover that LibreOffice Write can say a text file as HTML! So I diddled around with fonts and layout and after only about six tries managed to get a check template that not only runs on kMyMoney but actually fits my checks! It isn't perfect, but I don't think the bank will reject them.
I need a drink.
