Customer Invoice Layout/Data

Question

When I do customer invoices I have several lines of tasks specific to the project. I do not break down each each, but put a line in for labour, a line for materials, and possibly a line for other expenses. The problem is that quicken always insert 0.00 in the amount column. It looks ridiculous and customers call to ask if there is a missing charge.

How can I remove these unnecessary insertions?

It would make the use of Quicken unnecessary if I have to do an invoice outside of the software, and I don't want to do that.

Thanks for the response. I think that I will get software to edit PDF's and cleanup the invoices before sending them. I had to stop using quicken to email because of the way they present the email to the customer.

That has been asked before and the answer was that "comment lines"  which do not have a unit price associated with them or "boiler plate lines" which only contain text and no amount will always print with a 0.00 amount.Somebody would have to change the programming to create a new line item type for these comment lines.
