Also, there are numerous invoicing templates for Word and you didn't provide
any descriptive information about the template, so it's impossible for
anyone to know which template you're using... that can make a big difference
as to how/whether the probem can be fixed. Perhaps if someone knows where to
start looking they may be willing to take the time to investigate it further
for you.
Okay. It was just the plain vanilla one from Word. I don't remember
if it had a specific name or anything. The original is rather cleverly
titled invoice1.dot (g).
It would also be useful to know what steps you may have taken in trying to
fix it yourself... that not only prevents someone from wasting time
retracing your steps but also might provide some insight as to how to
proceed. Keep in mind that *nobody* here gets paid for the time they spend
offering assistance. This is all voluntary and - I sincerely don't mean this
sarcastically - the volunteers seem to be more willing to lend a hand to
those who demonstrate a willingness to help themselves but get in deeper
than their knowledge & experience will support.
Good points and I know better, but sometimes I forget the obvious ones.
Especially after messing with it for awhile and getting all frustrated.
Mea culpa.
Below the body of the invoice, where one puts the number of things,
description, price, and amount is another section which has teh
subtotal, taxes, shipping and total and next to it on the left, are the
labels for the above. In the original it is situated directly
underneath the body of the invoice. The box containing the labels
includes goes all the way from the left side to where the labels
start and there is another box that contains the cells that actually
figure and display the subtotal ect. The labels are under the body part
labeled unit price and the actual subtotals, etc., themselves are under
the amount.
I don't know how well this will translate but roughly. (Visualize the
appropriate rules running up and down if you would)
Units Description Unit Price Amount

Total $
My problem is that for some reason the subtotal, etc as well as the $
get shoved over one column, with the $ now being outside where the
printer will print.
I tried to put the mouse on the vertical line and just move
subtotal, etc. over but that pulls the entire thing over and I lose
stuff in the body. I tried to put the cursor next to one of the labels
and see if just deleting or backspacing would bring it back over to
where it needed to be. I even tried pulling up the original, redoing
and resaving it. It look good when I did it, but had everything moved
over when I reopened it.
I did nothing new to any of the other sections.
Any other questions?
