I just type them in MS Word and use an easily fileable layout.

Some commercial customers just pay on the spot from petty cash or a cheque on my giving them one of my "slips". Others want an invoice of which I produce about a dozen a month.

Viz e.g.:

Invoice no:- MG2005-09-04 = Year=2005   Month (09)= Sept    04 = 4th invoice of the month.

As the months and years go by they will automatically appear one above the other in Words file directory. So if I need to call one up I go into my documents/window cleaning stuff and then scroll down to my invoice. Every so often I store them to CD - perhaps every three months or so.

As file names they appear like this:- (eg)

MG2005-12-08 Wild Pursuits climbing centre Contact Eileen Overr Tel: 0123 678 456
MG2005-12-09 Pont Havren Water Authority Contact I.P. Daley Tel:0123 456 789
MG2006-01-01 ABC Hotel Group Contact Kurt Manners Tel:0123 097 654
MG2006-01-02 Wessex Maths College Contact Lois D. Nominater Tel:007-003=004

Most of them pay me without chasing by DD or a cheque lands on the mat. Luvverly!
It's a game of three halves!

I created mine using Exel. Open Exel then click on file then new and you should get a box come up and 1 should be Invoice.  You can then manipulate it to suit you.  You can also put in Logos etc.
Then as you do the jobs you can either print it off and give to the customer or if its easier when you get in you can email it over.

Hope this helps

I use a MS Works database with a list of each years invoices in.  I mailmerge the info into an MSWorks word processing file that I set up.  Sounds complicated but it works fine once I got it set up right (took ages and got help from newsgroups).
