Can we please have the option to make the Logo size small/medium/large - the small Logo looks like it was a "spare thought"

This would help immensely, particularly when it comes to sub headings. Thanks!

This is gap in Xero functionality that comes up regularly in the forums (some examples below)
The exact feature desired:When I am within any ONE field (most commonly in the Sales invoice "Description" field)
* I want Some words to be Bold, others Italic, some in a different Font Color
The CRUCIAL detail here: is that this is text all within the ONE field - yet DIFFERENT formats per word.A) Xero does NOT allow this.
--------------------------B) You can prove to yourself that Xero lacks this:
--------------------------------------------- ---
In Xero when you type into say the Description field: you wil see there is NO row of icons above: no icons for bold / italic / bullets etc. Without those icons - the users could NEVER control which word gets which format.
Compare that to your normal email software or other Web apps - that DO offer those icons above.C) Resolvng a common confusion: the above can NOT be achieved using Xero's 'Custom Templates' feature
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The forums show regular uncertainty - people suggesting to try Custom-Templates.
BUT that feature does NOT do the above. 100% not.I) It allows 100% of the words in any one field - to ALL have the same, customised format that you decide (eg ALL words are bold)
I) it does NOT allow words inside that field, to have varying formats.D) But Custom-templates CAN achieve a DIFFERENT need - that some people want:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------IF: they do not want different formats for different words in the SAME field
But they want: "sometimes Description field to be red-font: and in other Invoices to be black"That can be achieved: by creating 2 custom-templates: in one, Description is red=font. In the other, Black.
Then as you edit any one Invoice, you can select from among the custom templates you created - as needed (NB- one custom-template is Default and so new Invoices always start with it==========================================================

Please Xero, make this happen! Your invoices are so boring when unable to put in defined headings e.g. bold & underline.

How can I format where my company address sits as the Company Name is dropping down onto the next line. Also I have DL windowed envelopes and there should be a default setting for UK customers to easily have their Sales Invoices formatted to print correctly so the Customer's address shows in the window of the envelope.
