“How do I schedule something for the first and third Wednesday of every other month?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not in our inbox every<\/em> day, or even every third Wednesday, but we see it from time to time and we’d bet a lot of folks (we see you, Social Security recipients!) are out there making do and really, really want to know if CheckBook<\/a> can even do such a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer, of course, is, of course<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. As you create or make changes to a Schedule, look for the Schedule<\/strong> button at the top of the sheet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Click the Repeat Every<\/strong> button, near the top of the sheet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Click the Day(s)<\/strong> button and change its value to Month(s)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Click the Customize…<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
            \n
          1. You’ll see where you can change the Schedule’s day(s) of the month or the day(s) of any particular week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

            It’s a pretty tight setup, but has a feature that might throw you for a loop: Schedules can repeat on any number of days of the month or on any number of days of any number of weeks of the month. This lets you use a single Schedule for stuff that falls on combinations like the 1st<\/strong> and 15th<\/strong>, or on the 1st<\/strong> and 3rd<\/strong> Wednesday<\/strong>, if that’s what you need. Just keep an eye on which items have a colored background – those are the items that are selected. If you only need one, make sure only that one has a colored background and you’re good to go. And, after you click the OK<\/strong> button, double-check right below the Repeat Every<\/strong> button for a summary of when the Schedule will repeat:<\/p>\n\n\n
