Im using Quickbooks on a PC desktop. My invoices currently appear on my screen with every other line shaded a light blue. However, when i print or email the invoices to my clients, the light blue doesn't print. This makes my invoices very hard to read. Help?

Hello Amy189, 

 

Nice to see you in the Community! You can change the color and other theme setting by following the steps below. 

 

  1. From the Lists tab, select Templates.
  2. Double-click the form you want to modify.
  3. Under Change Font For: section, select the field you want to edit.
  4. Click Change Font.
  5. Select the Font, Font Style, Size, Effects.
  6. Select a Color.
  7. Click OK and then OK.

 

Also, if you want to change the color of the gridlines, you can select a color under Select Color Scheme and then click Apply Color Scheme.

 

I'll be around if there's anything that I can help. Keep safe!

i need the gridlines to print and to translate to the invoice pdf i am sending to customers. I can see the light blue now; and don't really care what color it is. I just need the alternate shading to Print and appear on the invoice PDF that i am emailing to customers. Maybe i wasn't clear enough with my question.

I appreciate you for clarifying, @amy189.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), the gridlines you're referring to are currently exclusive to invoice entry and cannot be customized on the invoice templates for enhanced visibility to your customers. In the meantime, you may consider exploring compatible third-party apps that offer additional customization options for your invoice templates.
