How do I add space or lines between items on invoices?

That's quite an idea to make your sales transactions readable, @Jason4. I'll share a way to ensure you've got spaces between product items on your invoices.

 

When adding certain items to your invoices, we can enter them alternatively to provide spaces in between. This way, it will be easy to read for your customer especially when you have to enter a long description for your items. To do that, you can follow the steps below:

 

  1. Click the Customers menu and select Create Invoices.
  2. Choose a customer from the Customer:Job dropdown to whom you creating this transaction.
  3. In the product item section, select what product or services you have rendered to your client.
  4. Then, leave one space or row before adding another product item.
  5. Enter additional transaction details you may have, and click Save & Close or Save & New.

 

After that, you can also review how it looks by previewing the transaction. Here's how:

 

  1. Open the invoice you recently created, and click the dropdown arrow under Print.
  2. From there, select the Preview option and see how your items are placed.

 

Furthermore, you can check out this article to see how you can record an invoice payment once your client pays their statement of charges: Record an invoice payment.

How do I add space or lines between items on invoices?

Yes, this is how it used to work. But after the recent QB update, any blank lines are removed from invoices when they are formatted and sent to customers. 

 

I can space my invoices to look as I would like, but for some reason QB now reformats my invoice when sending. It's very frustrating. Is there a way to stop this reformatting process? 


It's never before been something I had to worry about.

How do I add space or lines between items on invoices?

I have the same issue. I put spaces in between each line and when I go to print all the spaces are gone. it is very frustrating. Can anyone tell me how to fix this.

Could you share which update release of QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) you have @napiersprinkler, as there's a new update or the latest release available? We'd like to inform you that most issues are addressed by simply updating your QBDT to the latest release. For more information about the latest release for QBDT, you can check it out here: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release.
