Dennis,
Here are Sami Aaron's notes on printing Checks in 6.1/6.1A. They are
likely still relevant.
I used to print 3 part checks with a bottom detail on continuous forms but I
don't have any of my own notes, but I do recall using just the page header
only is the point of beginning.
{begin notes}
1. You can design a "Custom Report" to print any kind of custom checks.
Tips:
. Use ONLY PH (Page Header) Section of Report (Key Point)
. Remove all other sections, i.e, RH, D, RF, etc.
. Under Report Layout,
. Lines Per Page: 74
. Page Footer Line Number: 0
. CHECK [Remove Initial Carriage Return]
. UN-CHECK [Manual Break Reset]
. CHECK [Clear Variables after Printing]
. UN-CHECK [Form Feed - Before Printing Report]
. UN-CHECK [Form Feed - Before Report Header]
. UN-CHECK [Form Feed - After Report Header]
. UN-CHECK [Form Feed - After Report Footer]
. SET Print Orientation to Portrait
. SET Left Margin to 0.75
. SET Right Margin to 8.00
2. You can also use Custom LABEL feature of R:BASE for Windows
You don't need that. R:BASE FOR WINDOWS 6.1/6.1A DOES IT ALL!
Under "Report Settings", you can pre-define the "Print Orientation" to
Landscape.

I agree that labels are probably the best solution.
Put your reverse line feed at the top of every label and a forward linefeed
at the bottom of each.
You should be able to place your individual fields exactly where they need
to go.
