Re: [GNC] Minor issue with invoice layout
Play with the Layout tab in Options for the Invoice Report. There is also a custom CSS box available if you want to dig that far. Regards, Adrien On 2/14/21 11:47 AM, Howard M.

Re: [GNC] Minor issue with invoice layout
Howard, You probably want to adjust the margin property. Search on the web about CSS margins. You can use the short hand version where you specify all 4 in one declaration, or use separate 'margin-left', 'margin-right', etc. You'll have to play around with it to find the optimum value for you. Also consider saving/exporting and opening the report in a web browser. You might get more printing controls there. (and can use the built-in web inspectors to play with CSS in real time, then print) Regards, Adrien p.s. - not sure how that reply got threaded in to the Asset vs Equity conversation, so I replied back to this original.

Re: [GNC] Minor issue with invoice layout
I forgot to mention you can also save/export or copy/paste any report to a spreadsheet for further manipulation and formatting prior to printing, which would of course include control of margins.

"I upgraded Gnucash from ver 3.2 to 4.4 (Mac OS 10.15). My custom
invoice layout changed. Particularly, the Client information, which was
flush with the left margin, is now moved much toward the center."
I am having the same problem. I've tried editing the CSS and can move the
client table back to the left with a margin left negative number value, but
that moves it to a set position which may end up misaligned from the grid
below when it is printed.
By exporting the report and opening it in a web browser I was able to figure
out what needs to be changed to make it auto align to the left, but it isn't
something that can be changed from the CSS style editor section under the
Layout tab.
Have you had any luck figuring this out?
I also used to be able to have the invoice # set to be large bold text but I
can't figure out how to change that in this new version either.
The main thing I use Gnucash for is invoicing...it's pretty frustrating that
I can't get it looking as good as I had it before. It really looks very
weird having the customers information indented 1/4 of the way toward center
while the invoice # above it is aligned all the way to the left.
To move the various components of the invoice, you have to play with the
Row 1 Left, Row 1 Right, etc drop down selections in the Option->Layout
section. For example, "Their details" corresponds to the Client
information. Eventually, I got all the various bits on the desired
sides and in the desired top-to-bottom order, including my logo, and
everything was flush with both margins.
Even though everything looked OK on the screen, when I printed the
invoice (or saved to PDF), the margins were extremely small in width,
and the document looked terrible. The solution for setting the margins
is as follows: In the Layout section, add this code to the CSS
body {margin-top: 1cm;
margin-left: 1.5cm;
margin-right: 2cm
margin-bottom: 1cm}
I tried other CSS code snippets that accept margin information, but only
"body" worked. I think one can use px and even inch in place of cm. I
wasn't worried about a bottom margin; thus, I omitted that line. Note
that, for an unknown reason, to get the invoice centered on the page, I
had to use different values for the left and right margins.
Cheers,
Howard
