This feature is supported by Office Accounting 2007, but not by SBA 2006.
If you use Office Accounting 2007, please try the following: On the quote/order/invoice form, go to Actions->Manage Word Templates and select the template you want to modify. Word will be launched and have the template loaded. On the "Document Actions" pane on the right side of the Word window, you will see the list of fields that includes several "User-Defined Fields". You can double click any field in the list to add the field to the Word template.
Hope this helps. Ning

I added a field which I named "Units" into my Inventory form. It is then on each line of the Products in my Quotes form.
1) I can't insert [Units] or anything other field into the SALESQUOTELINE section in the Word document.
2) Actually [Units] at first it didn't even exist until I modifed the schema. Then I actually was able to insert it into the Line after I changed the XML schema and added the word field name Units -but all it does it add the placeholder, but doesn't fill in the information.
3) I tried sticking it into the document and not in the salesquoteline, and also with no success.

Stephen, I guess you want to export user-defined fields on item lines to Word. Unfortunately Office Accounting 2007 doesn't support this. It only supports user-defined fields on the document level, not on the lines.

Is this feature available now in Business Accounting Pro 2007. How can I get the user-defined fileds on my invoice displayed on the word template which should be sent by e-mail to my client?
This is extermely important. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Teuf, For how to use user defined field in Word template, please see my post on another thread initiated by you. Yes. You can use it for email also.
Thanks, Ning
