Invoicing

[D Skelton]

Not the main point, but Word and Excel will both save straight to pdf (I'm using 2007).

I say Word and Excel for clarity, what I actually mean is Open Office Calc and Write.

Openoffice can save to pdf too, there should be a option for it (export directly as pdf). Also any program that you can print from can save as a pdf you just need to install a pdf printer such as cutePDF writer. once installed when you want a pdf you go to print then in printer selection you choose cutePDF and then print it will then save it as a pdf

Not in my version of OO. Also, the PDF printers, at least the free ones, give such poor quality renderings. I want all my logos and accreditations at the bottom of my headed paper looking nice, and not splodgy lol

Might be worth updating your copy of OO, there should be an option to export to PDF in the file menu and also a button on the toolbar

A combination of excel and word. Just after something a bit more streamlined, vat breakdown, discount, automatic sequential numbering etc... and also something that saves as pdf without having to convert.

I was about to say get someone to automate the processes that you carry out. Someone who is capable of writing software using Visual Basic will be quite capable of tailoring MS Office to meet your needs. That said, having read further into the thread and discovered that you use Open Office, I am not familiar with the options available to you to tailor its functionality.

I'm sure that service would cost a lot more than the £50 that SliQ are asking for even if it could be done with OO. I'm pretty certain I'll be using software, I only ask about SliQ because that was the one which was recommended to me.

So you are going to make a really important business decision because of £50.
