No, he's right. Excel may also have an invoice template, but 
recent versions of Word definitely have them as well.

Someone mentioned the GnuCash one -- is it any good? That one seems
promising in that the form -- which really just ought to be an artifact
from some other organizational system -- should (I assume) be able to pour
relevant transaction info from its database into the right template. 

If something like that can't do it, maybe Perl & TemplateToolkit/DBI might
be the easiest long-term approach. 

Well, for certain values of "easy" :-)
