How to import an invoice template into Google Docs – Easy Steps

If a word processor is popular, that is, it has a fairly large user base, you will find templates developed for it. Microsoft Word has hundreds of templates available for all kinds of things; CV, reports, invoices and more. Some templates are developed and published by Microsoft, while others are developed by third parties. You can find free and paid templates alike. Google Docs is no different.

Invoice template in Google Docs

Google Docs is easily the most popular cloud-based document editor. Microsoft Word has an online version, but it is not as feature-rich as Google Docs. There are many templates available for Google Docs, both free and paid.

Import invoice template in Google Docs

Google Docs stores documents online and has sharing built in, making it a great tool for billing someone. There are also many invoice templates available for Google Docs, but since it is not a desktop document processor, you may not know how to import a template.

First, you must find the template that you want to use. You can search for templates online, but for the sake of this article, we’re going to go with the invoice templates published by Wise. A Google Docs template will appear as a link. It will not download a file to save the template.

1. Find an invoice template for Google Docs.
2. Click the import button or click the template link.

3. A new tab will open asking if you want to create a copy of the file in Google Docs.
4. Click the Copy button to create a copy of the template in your own Google Docs account.
5. A new document will be created with the invoice template.
6. Now you can edit and send the document.

You cannot save a template offline, but you can save a copy in Google Docs. Use the copy to create a new invoice each time you need to send one. You can edit the template if you want and you can import as many as you like.

conclusion

An invoice template, once imported into Google Docs, is hidden from the editor. The editor will not be able to read what you put into the document. That said, a template can include a malicious link, so be careful where you import templates and give them a full read before submitting. Google Doc templates can’t do much harm, but it’s never a good idea to send a malicious link (knowingly or unknowingly) to anyone you need to invoice.
