Changing defaults in Fancy Invoice

[Andrew Greig]

Thanks Derek,

That sorted that out, 10 lines it is, now.  I also found out that if I
change the font size, the rows enlarge to accommodate.  But now my
invoice has spread off the right side of the page.  In the notes
included in the fancy-invoice.scm file, it is suggested that the future
may lie with html templates being supplied by various users, and the
best selected for incorporation into gnc. Is that as easy as it sounds?

I have a current Invoice Template I created in OpenOffice.org for A4
page and DL window-faced envelopes, to make that into an html document
should not be too hard.  Should I proceed down that path?

Thanks
Andrew Greig
