I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF IT POSSIBLE TO USE BOLD, ITALIC OR COLOUR ON CERTAIN ENTRIES ON A SERVICE INVOICE?
I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY CUSTOMISED FORM, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT APPLY TO EVERY INVOICE I ENTER AND THAT WOULD JUST BE MORE WORK!!
IT WOULD BE NICE IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF TOOLBAR WHICH INCLUDED THESE OPTIONS INSTEAD OF HAVING TO CUSTOMISE FORMS!
ANY IDEAS???
"CAN YOU USE BOLD, ITALIC OR COLOUR WHEN ENTERING SERVICE INVOICE"
Have the ability to Bold or Underline words/lines.
Difficult atm to highlight important information.
I see that there was a previous forum discussion on this topic.
I know that the bold Header is a feature in the current version and cannot be changed by the user.
I am another user who wants this changed back so that the Header line is not forced to be bold, as it does not suit our customised invoices.
If the user could choose either bold or not bold themselves, that would probably be the best outcome.

I am often required to highlight text in quotes (professional form) and the only thing I can do is use *****. This is pretty unsatisfactory. It would be great if we could highlight or underline text.
Technically speaking making the comment section free form is not that hard ...just disable the pop up. We use the comment to enter tracking details of the goods we dispatch ..and the present work around of editing the comments section before we apply it to the SO is just too difficult.
I would vote for a change please.
I am using Accountright 2013.2 and wish to submit an idea to improve the setting out of an invoice. There should be either an option or default to make the Header Line Bold. It appears on the screen as bold but when you print it does not.
Hi,
When I enter a header or subtotal line in a MYOB invoice or PO, the lines are "ghosted" when viewing on the computer. However, there is no differentiation when printed.
This almost defeats the purpose. I would like these lines to be bold or underlined or somehow differentiated.
I just discovered this morning that there is no way to create a visual distinction between subtotals, sub-headings and the rest of the items in the list in an invoice or quote. I am devastated. I can't present this to my customers and don't know what to do now.
I disagree with Donna in idi-p/138576, who said the lack of this feature "almost defeats the purpose." It completely defeats the purpose. Subtotals and sub-headings without visual distinction add no clarity to the data and will often add confusion, and are therefore worse than useless.
I added a vote that I would like to see this feature, which I should have thought about more. To be precise I would have liked to see this feature when I needed it this morning but as I am about to build or buy an alternative solution a future implemenation is not going to help me at all.
I also agree. Sub-headings (at least for quotes) is needed. Our quotes typically have 1 - 2 options presented.
I think this is a duplicate idea? I have voted for it also
It would be great if this could be added to any invoice layout. I use Time Billing and there are some times where I would like to use formatting within the description of some invoices but I can't.
It would also be great if the keyboard shortcuts for formatting are kept for Bold, Italics & Underline so that we can keep our fingers on the keyboard without needing to navigate with the mouse.
It would be nice if you could change the font type, sized or make it bold or itallic when inserting a header into the body of a sale invoice to make it appear different to the rest of the text.
Cheers Alan
Agree and have voted for it!
The Font for subtotals need to be able to be formatable apart from item lines.
Some practicle reasons is that in Item billing, Customers want to only show sub totals for different categories and not totals for each line. If formating is seperated then it will be posibble to make the font for item lines as white which will ensure it is not visible when printed.
I have also long looked for this idea for entering within service invoices. I often need to list within an invoice for example, Qty Item Description Amount within the body of the invoice and would like to put those words or similar so they look like a header within the text. also i might need to put item description, a gap then $amount in a list then need to underline the last amount to indicate a total. This is often set out like this for insurance invoice/reports as one. Then the total of the list is entered as the main figure in the forms $ column. To have incorporated in the keyboard letters, In early electric typewriters we would press say Ctrl shift then a letter and it would start the underline command and repeat Ctrl shift then letter to stop the underline. That went 'out the window' with later computers. There used to be Ctrl backspace etc. all useful commands when typing. Maybe this will work for bringing such formatting into the myob for editing the layout, bold, italic, etc within the description area. Looking forward to seeing this kind of formatting being introduced to invoice text entering would be great.
My suggestion is that when you are creating a sale or purchase from a recurring transaction and you right click on the line to adjust the style there should be an option to change the line style so that you don't need to delete the line and insert another line. All of the recurring transactions that were set-up in Premier 19 no longer record until I have been in and deleted and re-created every line, something to think about for the next update.
