When I need to generate an actual invoice (fairly rare as my theatre is almost entirely a cash business) I make it up with Libreoffice as well. I have an invoice template saved that I use for that purpose. +1 to the above, can only re-iterate, if you need your accounts to be auditable, and can't get your head round accountancy software, then provide the information in any readable form to your accountant and let them deal with it. If you don't need them to be auditable, or you are an accountant, then just learn how to use whatever accountancy software do it, and don't let an emotional belief in to what operating system you use take control over what choices you have in this regard. -- Giles Coochey
