How to Create a Sales Invoice Using Office

A sales invoice helps to record the sale of goods or services from a vendor to a customer. Microsoft Word 2007 is software that can help create a sales invoice by using the built-in template feature, which allows Word users to search, find and use templates for specific types of documents. This is helpful as it saves Word users time from having to create a document from scratch.

Instructions

1. Open Word 2007 and then click on the Office start button; the Office start button is located at the top left-hand corner of your Word 2007 program.

2. Click on "New" under the Office start button drop-down menu, type the phrase "Sales Invoice" in the search field of the new dialog box, and then press "Enter" on your computer keyboard. You will see a list of sales invoice templates to choose from; choose one.

3. Double-click on the sales invoice template you would like to use; the template will open in a new Word document. Customize the sales invoice template to suit your needs by modifying the font, font color, design, words and titles. After customizing the template, save the modified template to a folder on your personal computer; you have created a sales invoice in Word 2007.
