This feature allows you to copy the invoice (or billing statement) currently showing on the screen to the clipboard.  Once in the clipboard, it can be inserted in a word processing document, an email message, or an HTML document.

This feature is available on Level 3 programs and above.

To use the copy feature, select EDIT and COPY ENTIRE INVOICE (TEXT) or (HTML) from the Main Invoice Screen or from the Billing Statement Screen.

You have two options.  You can copy the invoice (or statement) as text.  Or you can copy as HTML.  When copied as text, the invoice is reformatted so that it can be inserted into any word processing program.  Once in another program, you can formatted the way you want--or leave it as it is.

The other option is to copy the invoice (or statement) as HTML.  In this option, HTML tags are added to the text so that when viewed in a web browser, the invoice (or statement) looks the same as those printed by AnyOrder.  You can paste the HTML copy into word processing programs which are compatible with HTML documents.  Or you can paste the HTML copy into browsers or email programs.

A Note About Text Format. In text format, invoices are designed without columns.  This enables you to use any type of font when a text formatted invoice is inserted into an email or word processing program.  Billing statements, on the other hand, out of necessity, need to have columns for credit, debit and balance figures.  To keep the figures in the columns properly lined up use a courier (or fixed space) font when working with a text formatted statement in another program.  If you are inserting a statement in a word processing program, you may also need to reduce the right and left margins so that it has adequate space to fit across the page.
