Hello,
I have spent a large number of hours customising each individual form with our company's font and logo style. I think it would be brilliant if there was an option to set the default font, logo and appearance of each form so that this generic style could be applied against all other forms. I believe that this would save all of your MYOB customers so much time!

Thanks for the great suggestion AshL. This idea has been raised previously and is very popular. I recommend that you cast your vote for this idea here:
Copying fields when customising invoices.

Since this is a duplicate of a duplicate of a duplicate I will repeat it again.
Dear MYOB,
In version 19 you used to be able to use the M-Powered form to customise a normal form template. We liked to use the M-Powered forms due to the set format and just edit them as we liked.
Now in 2014.3 I get a "new" error message I have not seen before every time I want to print the template I just spend 1.5 hours fiddling around and creating. The client will not be happy with this and now I will spend another 1.5 hours creating it in the non m-powered format.
Also in version 19 you could copy from one form to another you can't do that anymore.
Lastly 2014.3 doesn't even have M-Powered invoices so why bother with this message???.
Can we have the features back that did work?
Frustrated much...

Hi Renae, CloudMindAcc
I was not checking up on you quite the contrary and sincerely apologise for indicating that you had not yet voted for the idea as I could not find where your comments had been added to it. However, you have since added your pertinent comments which gives substance to your vote and spells out to the development team you needs; well done.
Thank you.
Best Regards

Thanks Tazinx I will vote on all of them... yes I totally get your point... there is 1700 posts on submit an idea and whilst I am busy tonight re-creating a form I don't have time to search for the duplicates.
MYOB... Can't the the posts be merged into one.

Also copy between form types or have template header/footer etc used as basis for each form as per suggestion in comment under:

I have created a customised invoice in the Professional group and now want to create the same looking invoice in the Time Billing group.
It appears there is no sensible way to do this other than start again from scratch. Having spent many hours lineing all the objects up and testing the form, I am not looking forward to wasting all that time when I should be able to simply copy and paste from one form to the other.
I can copy and paste one object at a time between forms, but as soon as I try to select more than one object at a time, the Copy button becomes disabled.
I tried exporting the custom form and importing again, hoping I'd be able to change the group, but then when I try to use the imported form, I get a message that there is nothing to print.
Please MYOB, could we have some simple way to migrate forms between groups.

It would be great to be able to copy the format of one customised form to another, and not just between invoice types.
Changing between invoice types is something that happens on a semiregular basis so this needs to be changed at least.
For those who wish to have standardised multiple customised forms (eg. Invoice, sales statement, payslip, Remittance advice etc) its a very lengthy process especially when there's a lot of formatting involved.
I know that some fields are available in some forms but not available in others due to their nature, but there are some fields which are applicable in all forms.
I prefer to have a standard format for all documents released to clients and to be able to have all forms within MYOB looking the same it takes hours to ensure each form is customised properly.
Maybe a solution would be to have a standard template where we can design the layout of our letterhead (header, footer and preferred font details) and then have each form linked to this initial template. Each customised form would then have the same header, footer and preferred font details with the body having the fields specific to that form which we can then customise.

Can we please have the ability to copy and paste fields & text from one customised form to another i.e. it is easier/faster to use the MPowered forms and copy/paste the fields to the form you are creating. You can do this in version 19. Can we PLEASE have back the abilty to do this with Acccount Right Live as it is a real time saver.
- TonyLaneUltimate Cover User
Yes I agree it is now not possible to do in AR2011 and later.
However, you still can copy and paste text, data & picture fields but only one at a time as in the attached example of creating a new item invoice (on the right) from an existing service invoice (on the left). They have been placed side by side to expedite the copy & paste in this instance. In V19 and earlier that was not possible as you were only able to open one customised form at a time.
