I eventually found that.  I'd suggest moving all of that information to 
Preferences, or at least putting a note somewhere in the preferences to 
direct people there, and a note in the business section of the 
documentation.

It would also be great if the default for the "Thank you for your 
patronage" text was a Preference (so that it would persist across 
sessions rather than always defaulting to that on all new invoices).

My name and address now shows up on the right in the on-screen invoice, 
on the left if I do an HTML export of the invoice, and not at all if I 
try to print or make a PDF.  Bizarre.
