 * Hi guys,
 * I am currently building a local delivery shop for my dad.
    I encountered a little
   inconvenience: I’m trying to figure out how I can efficiently use the space on
   the new order admin template.
 * This is because my dad has an hp printer with eprint, so pages directed to the
   printers email will be printed. Other services fax it to my dads printer and 
   they have a neat layout with as little space used while still having logo(not
   important to our case), tables etc. and remaining **one-paged**
 * I want to do the same. Tables on top for quick summary, because right now everything
   is in single lines, which is wasting a lot of free space and doing environmental
   harm because of the paper used.
 * E.G.
    Column 1 Order nr Column 2 Customer data Column 3 Payment method Subtotal
 * and below the table a list of products bought. And while I’m at it I want to 
   adjust FONT size or thickness as well to highlight if the order was already paid
   or not etc. AND because my dad’s already a little old and has problems reading
   the tiny font
 * I am looking forward to your answers and very happy to use woocommerce although
   it has been a though journey setting everything up for our unique case. 🙂

 * Hey [@kmrn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmrn/),
 * That’s a great question. It is possible to use HTML or plain text emails. The
   default is to use HTML which gives color and a bit more style. You can change
   the format by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Emails and clicking on the email
   you’d like to work with.
 * The “New Order” email is the one that is sent to the store owner after someone
   places an order. You can set it to use plain text in the drop-down at the bottom.
 * ![plain text](https://cdn-std.droplr.net/files/acc_705319/yjQJO1)
 * It’s also possible to edit the template for the HTML and text emails. Right below
   the drop-down is a spot where you can copy the template file to your theme. Then
   you can edit the appropriate template from inside the current theme. Whichever
   email format is selected, the corresponding template will be the one copied to
   the theme for editing.
 * You can edit any of the emails you like. The plain text will have a much more
   stripped-down email to start with.
 * You might also look at using a customization plugin.
