IN HTML Document Designer Wizard

Use the Invoice HTML Document Designer Wizard to generate an HTML invoice document from selections. The Wizard builds the document structure — company details, title, addresses, header columns, line columns and totals — using the options you choose, then returns you to the Invoice HTML Designer where you can refine the layout, styling and content.

Note: Running the Wizard replaces the current document. Save the existing design first if you want to keep it.
