David,



Yes, the options button on the report toolbar, which also appears at the
top of the print invoice window, is where you make changes to the layout.
That’s what I did.



On recovering a saved report configuration, I finally found that in the
Reports menu, saved configurations. It isn’t on the toolbar where I was
expecting it.



What I want to do is make that layout the one that comes up automatically
without having to go the saved configuration menu. Pretty sure I’ve done it
before, just can’t remember how. Once I had the invoice like I wanted it
for a school in Mexico, I forgot all the how-to steps.



Thanks,

Roger

On point 1: the Options toolbar button brings up report options.

On point 2: if you save a report, you have to call it up by selecting Saved
Report Configurations and choosing the report there. It would be advisable,
when you save a configuration, to give it a distinctive name for ease of
retrieval.

Thanks John,

I'm not clear on how to follow your instructions here: "There’s a
stylesheet option on the General page of all reports options and that
should be included when you save the report configuration."

Is the general page of all reports options on the reports menu, the edit
menu or elsewhere?

Also, I don't see how to make changes I make to the layout of the invoice
on the print page permanent. For example, I want the date of the invoice on
the left of line 3 in the header and the opposite side of line 3 empty,
today's date nowhere. I can save that configuration but don't see how to
tell the system to use that configuration always. The next time I want to
print an invoice it has reverted back to the default with today's date
only.

 I can't remember how to assign a custom style sheet to the print

 function.




 How to assign a saved configuration to the print function so it comes out
 the same every time? The placement of items on the invoice is not part of
 the style sheet edits. I can access options, save configuration and save
 configuration as but there isn't a way to recall the saved configuration
 that I can find to print out the invoice as I would like to see it.



 There’s a stylesheet option on the General page of all reports options and
 that should be included when you save the report configuration.

 There’s no separate style sheet for printing: We display in a
 WebKitWebView and use the WebKitWebView’s print function to print it and
 save it as a PDF.

 Regards,
 John Ralls
