Versions 23 and earlier

You can move and delete the Check Protect Amount field, but you can't edit or alter it. However, Sage does provide some formatting options.

Check Protect Amount

Check Protect Amount is a long version of the line (77 characters) and includes the word "Pay:". When you use this field, the Check Protect Amount Overflow field is also available to use on the next line. If the written amount is longer than the character limit of the Check Protect Amount field, the remaining text will overflow to this field. If you don't use the overflow field and the written amount is too long, it converts the written amount to numbers.

Check Protect Amount Narrow

Check Protect Amount Narrow is a short version of the line (60 characters) and includes the word "Pay:". When you use this field, the Check Protect Amount Overflow field isn't available to use.
