Dou you use a template for your letters. LaTeX has two packages to create invoices and we could also have one for ConTeXt but it makes only sense to use it with LuaTeX, TeX's arithmetic to limited for longer calculations. > But I coded my last job applications completely in ConTeXt and > adapted Holger Sch=F6ner's environment for my needs. > > I remember it was not that easy to get my address and logo exactly in > the same places as in my InDesign template - I use sheets with some > pre-printed elements. > > Another problem were different letter heads for first, odd and even > pages. Different header for the first and another one for the following headers is simple and possible with my module. The option to change the layout for odd and even pages is currently not supported but should be possible but it has to be integrated in the normal interface. > (It would have been *much* easier to use InDesign for that stuff, > like for most other designs that I do...) This is also possible with ConTeXt because you could setup layers to place content dependent on left and right pages and the page layout could also change for left and right pages as long as you don't change the text width.
