Thick lines on invoices

Now that's what we call rubbing salt in the wound!

I didn't see it mentioned in any postings on this article but if you want your invoice to look a certain way, why not order pre-printed invoices (customized) that will print using QB? This would be especially advisable if you are printing continuous multiple-part dot matrix forms. David B.

Yes certainly this is an option but it means I give up the flexibility of being able to alter the content and look of my invoices, however I think a good alternative would be for me to print out invoices with just the boxes in the old version of QB or in a design based programme. Then I use these when printing out from my present version of QB.

I am willing to bet that dbd is shooting from the hip and did not actually try out his idea.

The change in line thickness is old news. This newsgroup was all a thither back when version 2005 was introduced. The line thickness change was showing up in customized forms as well as the stock ones. The discussion became boring back then and is even more so today. There was a fundamental change in how QB handled forms and a default line thickness had to be chosen by the programmers. They decided on a thicker line. I for one was glad to see the change. The lines on my invoices were now bold and dynamic just like me.

Recent QB versions higher up on the food chain can modify line thickness. I doubt that this feature is only limited to the US market.

It has been, just a shade further down the tree... :)

All QB versions, regardless of country, are basically the same except for compliance with laws in the country each version is sold. If you have any questions, just ask Hadji...er..uh...John (ahem) in New Delhi, India. *snicker*

If I read any more postings about thick lines on invoices I am going to commit to a sanitarium!

With respect if anyone is not interested in this then there is a simply remedy I think that for some of us how our invoices look says something about us and our businesses, so for me it is an important issue.

Thanks to everyone who has tried to assist.

That is why you need to buy customized preprinted forms to suit your taste.

I only responded to his assertion that he wanted an invoice form the would be pleasing to his clients. I only responded to his posting and do not require your approval or disapproval. It was merely a suggestion. :-)

Because it is thouroughly tried, tested and fixed for most if not all bugs.

Lets be honest, the differences between versions 2 years apart are virtually non-existent.

I was running QB 6.0 for many years then purchased QB2004 but didn't upgrade until 2006 for no other reason than the hassle (or expected hassle) of setting up stock items etc.

Shan't upgrade again untill the current database becomes too messy.

It would take some blindingly good features to get me to upgrade to the latest version.

"Need" didn't sound like a "merely" a suggestion... :J)

For similar reason I'm still running QB Pro 2K -- there's simply nothing I need that a newer version does that the present version doesn't do...

More like your business does not warrant all the cool features and improvements made in the last eight years. In any event sooner or latter your Windows 98 machine will die out and you will need a Vista workstation. Try running 2K on that one.

Your pants must be on fire. The boys and girls at Intuit work their asses off each year to make sure the next version is always better than the last. If it isn't they don't get any supper for themselfs or their children.

Take a garden hose, turn it on, and hose yourself down. Again, I stated that IF it is that important to him to have impressive invoices for his clients, he needs to consider that alternative. I don't need you to translate to me what I said.

Testy little bugger, aren't you.. :)

to consider

No, just trying to help out.
