The issue I was reporting is about the printable invoice report. There are several options to choose from (easy, fancy, technicolor and others I don’t recall). None of them seem to pad out the _printable_ invoice to fill the page. Because these are static reports, double clicking has no effect.

Sorry, I misunderstood. But my Invoice Report also pads correctly. The entire item detail table just takes up more horizontal space when the descriptions get longer and the shorter description items all fall in line. (the entire table is sized the same and all columns line up) So I *really* am not sure where the problem lies. The report is just an HTML table. The widths are not fixed. (I don’t have a description that would line-wrap, but I’ll make something up to test.)

Not without editing the Scheme report code, saving it as a custom report, and then loading it like Doug’s reports.

For my own invoices, it appeared to look as if it were part of the invoice details. (above the invoice date and due date) Font selection and size should be able to make it appear that way. If you run into trouble attempting that with the built-in stylesheet editor, or aren’t familiar with CSS, shout back and I’ll see what I can come up with.
