Generating Customer Bills

[Herbert W. Eber]

Derek,
Every time I get disgusted with GNU-cash (and/or myself) for being unable to do what I want, I come back to try again because so much is so excellent that there MUST be a way to do ...

When I write you and receive a rapid clear response, I am further convinced to keep on.  Thanks; now may I ask 2 (really 4) questions?

1)	If I want to delete unposted invoices, is that simply find them in the A/Rmembers account and delete?  Any special tricks involved?

2)	new subject: Can I control info placement on a style sheet so that, e.g., I can adapt to ythe needs of a window envelope? Chapter 13 is not clear enough for me; what do I need to know?

An unposted invoice has no effect on your chart of accounts.  You can leave them hanging around or you can reuse them later.  All it's doing is taking up disk space and memory, so the only impairment it might have is slowing down loading and searching a bit.
