The first hint I will give you is "Do the entire file in Excel".
The latest version of Excel supports very high quality formatting.
It is far, far easier to get Excel to calculate accurately and format the
result than it is to persuade Word to both calculate and format.
I use a combined Invoice and Time-sheet (the Invoice calculates from the
data entered in the time sheet). If you can't figure it out, come back and
I will put a copy of mine up on the web for you to download.
Hope this helps
I was capable to create and customize my invoice templates in Windows 98. Now,
10 years later, with Office 2008 for mac I have a choice of invoices, but
can't figure out how to tailor them to my needs or at least have them
calculate the numbers I enter into the columns.
Any hint is greatly appreciated.
