Customized Invoices

In QuickBooks 4, customizing is initiated under Preferences|Sales/Invoicing, which brings up four tabs for four sections which control display and printing of about 26 features of the product invoice (depending on setups) plus any custom fields in use. Version 5 does it under Lists|Templates, which is covered in the chapter on customizing forms. This list was developed for version 4. In QuickBooks 5, the same content can be selected for customized forms. The difference is in much greater flexibility of placement.
