I actually found that for invoices (as opposed to reports I only do once 
a year) it was worth customising the report, and as someone who does 
understand html and css I could manage to change the eguile 'tax 
invoice' to suit my preferences (by changing the css file and a few html 
tags, but leaving the 'guile' stuff in the middle well alone). If I get 
some time I may offer a patch to make the html more amenable to css 
changes (it was originally written for a html rendering engine which 
couldn't use much css, but that's no longer the case), and a tutorial 
with a heavily annotated css file to help others to do this more easily.

Before I did this, I used a template in LibreOffice Writer, and just 
copied and pasted the client address and invoice table from Gnucash. I 
put a date field in the Writer template, so this would enable you to 
have your preferred layout.
