> Does anyone know of a good invoice site where you can create a free

I don't know of any free invoice sites, but I figure this is the next
best thing.
I patterned the layout of my own invoice on one from the accounting
firm of PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
The top part contains a whole pile of necessary stuff, like the word
INVOICE in nice, big, bold letters, an invoice number, the date, my
return address and the address of the person / company being billed.
The bottom is simply two columns. The wide one on the left contains a
written description of the work performed. The narrow one on the
right contains the amount billed.
Right at the bottom is a space for the total invoice, and for us
Canadian types, GST information.
To set it up took me about half an hour in MS Excel.
I find it works very well for my own contract writing.
I'm sure a local accounting or law firm could provide you with a copy
of something similar that you could use to design your own invoice.
