Easy way to invoice online
26 Answers
A company which I do a lot of sub-contracting to has warned me that they will soon start to insist on electronic invoices . Is there a simple way to do this ? Could I just tabulate an e-mail ? Maybe I'll have to download some office software , if so whats the best i.e simplest ? Many thanks in advance Marty PS I have Windows 7 and use firefox ;)

BBM - Don't use Paypal invoicing - they take a fee of about 3 percent!
You certainly don't need all the hassle of full accounting software, either!
To summarise, all you need is Open Office, which you can download here -
http://www.openoffice.org/
There is help on that site. Don't get it from other sites which try to charge you - it's free!
As ChuckFickens and I suggested, you should send your invoices as .pdf files -
if you send a word or spreadsheet document, your customer can change it!
A .pdf document looks just how you wrote it. You can make one by choosing "print to pdf or save as pdf in most programs - come back on AB if this isn't easy.
Good invoicing!

Venator ... That might be ideal for you ..sending pdf invoices .. They CAN be changed .. just like doc, xls, etc. That is NOT the real world.
I have sent loads of attached word invoices .. I have friends in succesful businesses and they too use a template and send in Word. It is not like you don't keep the original. You can easily lock a word doc against changes by author, and these could be identified in court if needs be.
I write a simple monthly invoice .. or a detailed one in a few minutes, and send it in a few minutes.
