The Print Options section allows you to preview, print or email a quote. For more information about layouts, see Standard Layouts. To preview a quote, go to the Print Options area (bottom left) and click Preview.  Saving Quote Layouts The Layout field displays the Default Print Layout, but sometimes a quote needs a unique layout different from the default. If you change the Layout and save the quote, AroFlo will remember the selection if you need it again in the future. The default will also display, just in case you need it. Switching the layout from the default works in conjunction with Online Quotes. |
