Anyone know a good program to use for invoices and letterheads?

I was thinking of using word for the letterhead, but what could I do for the invoices? It needs to have a certain format and print on to invoices that are already made, would excel work for this?

Word should be able to do the letterhead no problem. Saved as a template it should be fine.

Excel for printing on invoices. It will take a lot of work I think. Aligning everything perfect and getting font size/font clarity right would be a difficult task.

I study BA (Hons) Accounting at University and I received tutoring in Sage Line 50, an Accounting package. This program allowed client information to be added and stored, also allowing invoices to be printed out with the clients name and important information. I understand that this may be way more than your dad needs and possibly even outside the budget but its a pretty solid program.

Id listen to some more suggestions before jumping on my advice and ideas.

If you are getting your invoice data from a database, then Microsoft Access might work better. The problem is again lining up all of the text to match your pre-printed invoice.

Try Qiuckbooks (not Qiucken), I think you get a free trial. Put the preprinted invoices away. QB will do a great job with plain paper. Just choose the template your Dad likes.

Peachtree is a very popular very basic program. it gets the job done. i work in the accounting dept of a large sized construction company and many of the small vendors we have use this program...
