I'm sorry, I did misinterpret your message as you modifying the
easy-invoice and invoice.  Mea Culpa.

Well, you WILL have to learn scheme.. At least you'll need to learn
enough scheme to be able to modify it correctly.  The syntax is extremely
simple that ANYONE can learn the syntax.

I'd look at either where it creates the address table, or where it's
output.  I don't remember offhand where the alignment tags are
inserted, but I believe there's an align right command in there somewhere.
You're just going to have to play around with it to add extra whitespace
to the right and see if it works.   Another option would be to reset the
page width?  Not sure if that would work.
