Summary

How to work with logos in Sage Accounting.

Description

When you upload your logo, Accounting optimizes it to fit the logo area of your sales documents. If the logo doesn't look right, review the requirements and try adjusting it. You can edit your logo using an image-editing program like Microsoft Paint, then re-upload it. Aspect ratio refers to the ratio of the image's width to its height.
