Question : Does QuickBooks allow you to save an Invoice layout from an earlier version say QBE2008 and allow you to import the old file

I have several layouts for invoices from businesses I run. I recently upgraded from QBE 2008 to 2010 QBE. I get tired of having to reinvent the wheel every time I need to get the latest version then have to update the invoice layout again. I have several businesses.

Is there a way to avoid this problem. I do not want to have to build another one.

Also my original  layouts are all landscape and the wizard tool in 2010 does not seem to have a landscape layout like I like. If I cannot import how do I get a layout view in the QBE 2010 invoice customizing tool.

Are there any restrictions to the invoice layout. Like logo size, logo type etc?

Use this format string:

"000-00-0000"

When you use #, it gets dropped if it's not "needed".
