Ms Office accounting 2007 template issues

[mic_y]

Hi guys,

don't know if I am posting in the right forum, but here goes:

I use office accounting 2008 UK edition, and would really like to have items on invoices and quotes shown as including VAT. None of the default templates support this (they all list Excl. Price, and then the VAT amount, but not the 2 together).

The template is a word document with XML tags applied. Now, would anyone have an idea on how I could force the thing to add 2 XML fields, and display the output?

Regards,
Michael

PS: I can send the template files if anyone want to see what is going on in there...

The whole office is built upon the OpenXML framework. Google it a bit and you'll get loads of results on it. Try renaming the .docx file to .zip and extract it. You should be able to edit all the XML files in the archive. Change a few things, zip it up and rename it back to .docx. See what the results would be and take it from there...

hhhm, nah, the templates that office accounting exports to are still the old .doc file format. Basically, it is just a layout, with place holder text for fields, and XML tags shown where the actual items will be...

But now, how to create a custom tag of Vat Amt + Line Amt is a bit above me at the moment...
