Help With Word invoice

[DiabloX]

Can Someone help me with this? i opened one of the invoice templates
that comes with Word. It has 7 rows for items, qty, etc.
How can i add a second page of line items that only appears if i need
it. or is there a way to not print a 2nd page unless i add data to it?
i am using word 2000.

Do you have Office 2000? If so, look at the Invoice template that comes with
Excel as well. You may also want to take a look at the Order Entry database
in Access.

The Invoice template that comes with Word 2000 is a protected or locked
"online form." If you unprotect it you can add extra rows to the table that
makes up the invoice. (Tools => Unprotect)

To do this, once the document is unprotected, select one or more rows
(including the end-of-row marker) and Ctrl-C to copy then Ctrl-V to paste.
This should add extra rows for you that will be included in the subtotal and
total. You should make such a modification before you type in any data and
then protect the invoice for forms again to be able to type things in. If
you wanted to, you could use File => New to create a new template (check the
new template box in the bottom right of the dialog box), customize that
template with your company information and save it. You could then go on to
create variations on that with additional lines as needed.

Suggestion: Use the last line to refer to items listed on the attached pages
and just use a simple table for the attached page.

I know that this doesn't give you what you asked for. What you are asking
for would require a high level of programming that you might get better by
using the Access database. While it can be done, the amount of work involved
is far from trivial.
