[GNC] GnuCash 3.3 invoice layout questions

[Christopher Lam]

Hi, you may try saving customised invoice as a "saved report". You can also
view the exported html report in a web browser, and experiment with CSS.
Most invoice layout fields have been given a CSS class and can be modified
in the layout tab.

Please remember to copy list on replies; other users are also interested
and are able to offer alternative solutions.
