Change background

Now let's customize the table. We're going to remove the table borders.

To remove the table borders, go to table properties and select "0pt" for the table border.

Now we are done with our header. In the next step, we are going to create our  “Line items" section.

Step 3: Create Line items.  To do this, add the "Line Items" table.

Step 4: Add the “Line items” section details

That’s great.  We now need to add the "Totals Table."

Step 5: Make a small table that shows the totals for each customer. This table should show how much each customer must pay.
