            Bug ID: 123599
           Summary: New wizard for filling bank checks
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: cwendling at hypra.fr

Description:
We at Hypra would like to introduce a new wizard (under File -> Wizards) to
help filling bank checks and print the contents on actual checks.  This would
be handy for everyone that has several checks to write, and especially to
visually impaired people that can't easily fill a bank check manually.


There would be support for filling both sides of checks, depending on whether
one's emitting or receiving a check.

When filling the check front side for check emission, we'd be able to fill
everything: numerical amount, full text amount, recipient, date, place where
the check was made, and optionally a signature image.

When filling the back side, we'd be able to write account number, account owner
name, date, comments and optionally a signature.

Each field would have a default based on User Data or current date, and things
line full-text amount would be automatically generated from the numerical
amount.  We'd try and remember previously used values for fields like recipient
name or account number and propose them e.g. in an editable listbox to ease
reuse.


As checks unfortunately don't have a perfectly standard layout, we think about
having templates for every supported bank.  We plan to work mostly on French
banks templates because that's what we actually deal with, but we'd make sure
it works with international banks and to make it reasonably easy to add support
for a new bank's check layout.


This wizard would be fairly similar to e.g. the Letter wizard, but would result
in an actual document rather than a template, that can be printed right away.
Ideally, it would propose printing from the wizard itself, to save an extra
step.


To be able to insert a signature, we'll need the user to provide an image file
with his signature on it.  This would ideally be defined in the User Data
options pane.
It would also be nice to have currency as User Data, with a sane default
depending on the locale/region but that the user can select if he is most
commonly preparing checks in another currency.


What do you think about this, would it be an acceptable feature in LibreOffice,
and would you have any comment on the proposal?
