Hi sparsell,

I'd like to jump in and add some information about OpenOffice. Let me share it with you and help you create a new template.

While QuickBooks is design to work with Microsoft Windows, we have several free apps as an alternative. One of it is the Apache OpenOffice. You can visit their website to download for free.

To see the list of other alternatives, please check our blog: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/r/tech-review/5-free-alternatives-to-microsoft-office/.

Once you're finish downloading, go back to QuickBooks and create a template again.

I've also added our page about income and expense in case you need some help articles for your future tasks. 

Please know that we're always here to help whenever you have questions. Don't hesitate to reach out.
