Customising in Word

Make a template yours in four steps

  1. Overwrite the bracketed text — company, address, invoice number, dates, currency — and delete the brackets.
  2. Insert your logo over the [LOGO] marker (Insert → Pictures, in line with text, about 3 cm high).
  3. Save it as your master copy (File → Save As → Word Template) so each new invoice starts with your details.
  4. Fill in the lines, type the totals, and Save As PDF before sending — never send the editable file.

Prefer the totals done for you? The free invoice creator produces the same document as a PDF with the arithmetic built in.

  • A file you own and can restyle freely
  • Works offline and inside your existing paperwork
  • You type the line amounts and totals yourself
  • Export to PDF is a separate step
  • Best when the invoice must match a company document standard

Online invoice creator

  • Fill in the sheet; layout cannot break
  • Line amounts, discount, tax and total calculated for you
  • Every currency; per-line or per-invoice tax
  • Output is already an A4 PDF, or prints directly

Questions

Invoice template FAQ

Are the invoice templates free?

Yes. All six download as ordinary Word files with no signup, no watermark and no licence fee.

Do they work in Google Docs, LibreOffice or Pages?

Yes. They are plain .docx files — tables and text, no macros, no fields — so they open and edit in any modern word processor. Google Docs converts them on upload.

Do the templates calculate totals?

No — a Word document does not do arithmetic. Type the line amounts and totals yourself, or use the free invoice creator, which calculates everything and downloads the PDF.

Which template should I use?

Standard for most sales; freelance when you bill by milestone or hour with a deposit; tax invoice when you are VAT or GST registered; contractor when labour and materials need separating; proforma for payment in advance or customs; commercial invoice for goods crossing a border.

How do I add my logo?

Click the [LOGO] marker, then Insert → Pictures, choose your file, and set it to In line with text at about 3 cm high. Save the result as your master copy.

Can I change the currency?

Yes — the currency is plain text. Replace [CUR] and [USD] with your own code or symbol wherever they appear.
