Not that I know about.  There has recently been a couple of new reports sent 
to the list that might help, though.  Look in the archives for the last 2 or 3 
months for things from Doug (or Cindy) Doughty that might give you the 
flexibility you are looking for.  I haven't tried it yet though.

Reconcile is normally only used when you are sent a statement from your bank / 
credit card company.  That way you can compare your list of transactions with 
theirs and spot errors, duplicates or missing transactions.  If you just 
import your transactions, reconciling is of fairly limited use.  IIRC, the 
process is fairly well described in the Docs.

Possibly export the report to HTML, then view and print from a web browser.

I think that advice in the past has been o leave the customized invoice tab 
open, and then just options -> select the relevant invoice number.  But I'm 
not sure if that answers your question (or is a useful answer)

HTH,
