Re: INVOICE



As usual Elliott has offered some particularly sound advice. What you'll
actually need to do is use the PDF as a background in one "layer" overlaid
by editable tables & fields saved as a template. In addition to what he
suggested re alternative software, you may be able to accomplish what you
want in Word 2008's Publishing Layout View - especially if you don't need
more than one page per invoice and your requirements are not complex. The
PDF can be inserted as a graphic on a Master page & you'd need to use Tables
& Text Boxes on a Content page... But still a pretty shaky foundation.

Have you looked at the ready-made invoice templates available in File>
Project Gallery - Coordinated Forms? If you "must" use Word you may find
something there that will save you some time/trouble. They can also be
modified to create customized versions if you're trying to emulate the
design of the PDF. More templates are available from the Mactopia site as
well as the main MS Office site.

I would like to use an existing pdf designed
invoice in word. If possible, how do I begin typing text within the file?
