The function with formatted invoice text makes your invoice texts  clearer, neater and more informative.

The function enables more columns, bold fonts and indents.
There is no limit for amount of characters for a line, the printout adjusts to optimal line breaks.
If you copy text from an estimate, the whole text will be copied without line break or cuts in the text.

{| class=mandeflist
!&lt;&lt;
|and '''&gt;&gt;''' are used to make indents smaller and larger respectively. Place your cursor in the cell with the text and press  &gt;&gt; or &lt;&lt; .
|-
!Heading
|is used to bold the text. Place the cursor in the cell and press Heading if you want the text in bold fonts. If you are in a cell with bold text and press Header, to return to normal text.
|-
!Text/Amount
|is used for text adjusting to left or right in a cell. Normally left adjustment is suitable for text and right adjustment for amounts. Tip! Click on the column header (A, B, C etc.) to mark the entire column before you press Text/Amount. The complete column will thus be adjusted.
|-
!New column
|and '''Delete column''' are used for adding and removing columns in the text. There can be up to 14 columns in a text, additionally to a mandatory column for amount. Set column width. If the text is longer than the width of the column, the text will get line breaks at printout.

== Prerequisites: ==

Your company must use printout templates for its invoices in order for the formatted invoice text to work.  The printout template has also to be adjusted for formatted text.
If you are not sure whether you have printout templates or not, we will help you in finding out.

Formatted invoice text requires also that you are not invoicing in Classic but in  Backoffice: Project accounting/Adjusting-Invoicing.  Invoicing in Classic 04-41-10 is not working with formatted invoice text.

The parameter for setting the function for formatted text is in Backoffice: Base registers/Project Accounting/Parameters, tab Invoicing.
