Multi-line descriptions for templates in Quickbooks (e.g. invoices, packing lists, purchase orders) tend to "muddle together", despite my efforts to add clarity with makeshift bullet points:

Multi-line descriptions in QuickBooks

I'm able to change the background color of the entire column, but is there any way to make the background color of items (rows) alternate in custom templates?

  • What have you done or tried so far? Have you check the Quickbooks Support web site for information **[how to customize your forms](http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/pages/inproducthelp/Core/QB2K12/ContentPackage/Core/Customize_Forms/nf_stylesetup.html?family=pro)**? – CharlieRB Oct 17 '14 at 19:36
  • @CharlieRB I have become quite familiar with the layout designer in QuickBooks; I'm able to adjust fonts, add borders, and move things around. But alas, if I add a background color to anything, the entire element gets the same color. – IQAndreas Oct 20 '14 at 22:08
  • I'm hoping there is some hidden menu that I missed, or at least some answer like _This is possible if you export the template and edit it in a text editor._ – IQAndreas Oct 20 '14 at 22:10

Hi If you are using Excel 2013, Go to File menu -> New. In the search box type Sales invoice tracker1. You will see a template with alternating coloured rows as you want. There are lots of other templates online - Take your time and select the best one that suits your requirement

  • I'm using QuickBooks, actually. I put it in the tags, but I guess I forgot to actually mention that in the answer. – IQAndreas Oct 20 '14 at 22:12
