How do I create an invoice in Apple iWorks Pages?

I've been learning more about Pages (part of Apple iWorks) and am wondering if there's a template document, premade layout or similar that will let me quickly create an attractive invoice to send to clients?

Dave's Answer:

There sure is. In fact, just like Microsoft Word, Pages comes with dozens of premade templates that you can quickly customize for your own task, templates that will make your documents look far more professional than if you created the same document from scratch.

They're also well organized, so generally I find it quite easy to find the template I seek. I'll show you how to find the Invoice template in Pages and you'll see what I mean.

Launch Pages then look in the "File" menu:

As shown, you want to pick "New from Template Chooser...", which brings up a big window with lots of different templates shown:

Invoices are considered office forms, so click on "Forms" on the left side to have a selection of premade office form templates displayed:

There's what you want. "Invoice". Click on it, click on "Choose" and the template pops open:

From this point, simply click on the different fields and customize it for your own use. Easily done.

The process is very simple. And the invoice templates that are included with Pages are very professional looking and quite customizable.

Overall - I have been very pleased with the Apple Pages program.

I do have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but first I'd like to say thank you for all your efforts on this Web site by buying you a cup of coffee!

I do have a comment, now that you mention it!
