Well, Rich, looks like somebody already told you what I'll tell you!
I print the invoices to a textfile. I search and replace "I N V O I C E" with 
"         Membership Dues Notice" and set the spaces so that it prints right 
over the little box containing the date and invoice number. I also change 
"Invoice No." to "Refer #".
Then, I get rid of all the blank lines by searching for
"|                                |     |" (abbreviated here, but the blank 
lines on the invoice).
Then, for the real kicker, I create a textfile in word perfect with all the 
stuff I need to tell folks, then I merge each invoice as a field and print a 
nice little notice with a typeset message on the bottom half of the page.
But, I gotta tell ya, when I read your response telling about how your 
predecessor has set up 10,000 different categories, etc., I knew exactly what 
you are going through. I set the system up here, then when somebody else took 
their turn at the job, they really butchered the system. I have just now 
gotten the books straight again for them. I don't know whether they are the 
idiots, or I am, for doing this for them. They pay these contract guys to cut 
the grass on the common ground, but they think I ought to do this for them 
for free :-). This year, they have to file 990s. Next year, they have to pay!
