Review the pro forma invoice before saving

Use the extra visual space in the simple pro forma invoice to make the wording precise. For example, one installation package and separate materials gives more context than a label copied without thought. Keep that context if a buyer reviewing the proposed supply would otherwise need to ask what the entry covers. Read document note separately from the heading: a plain layout still needs the details that explain the situation. The Design controls let you compare paper sizes without rewriting your text. After changing size, read the page breaks and the final lines in Preview. If the pro forma invoice needs another page, keep the necessary wording. A simple document is one the intended reader can follow, even when a workshop order awaiting confirmation requires more than a short note.
