Yes. Enter the total word count in the quantity field and your per-word rate (e.g., 0.15) in the rate field; the total calculates automatically.
Should I specify publication rights on the invoice?
Yes. Adding a short note under Terms (e.g. All commercial rights transfer to client upon complete payment) protects your intellectual property.
