I tend to agree with Steve's points.
Joel, I fail to understand why you and Steve think LyX/LaTeX is not suitable for producing an invoice/statement while a word processor such as LibreOffice is. I can produce invoices with GnuCash, but they're more parts-focused, not time-and-expense-focused. I used to use a spreadsheet to track retainer anc charges but the output is not as professional as is the output from LaTeX.
However, do you have an example .lyx file that isn't working for you and an example of what you're trying to achieve (perhaps from a pre-LyX interface)? Do you have a MWE, maybe without the fancy invoice2 components?
My question was how to correctly implement the invoice2 package and the example you sent explains that very well. It also shows me that the invoice2 package is not suitable for a statement which is a history of the project rather than a stand-alone invoice for a single month. Seeing this now answers my question. And, LyX does produce a nicely typeset statement which can run multiple pages when necessary. Thanks to both of you for responding, Rich
