When I create an invoice for a customer that has FirstName, LastName, and Company in the customer info, the email is addressed to the Company name rather than the individual's name. So, for example, if I have customer "Sally Smith" of the XYZ Corp, the email says, "Hello XYZ Corp." and then the invoice is attached. If I remove the company name from the customer info, then the email is addressed to the individual, "Hello Sally Smith"
I want to keep the company name with the customer info, but I want the email to be addressed to the individual. How do I do that?

Thank you, @sharpiemarker for the quick response. Unfortunately, the only place that has a place for that is in Billing Information or Shipping Information. When I tried it, it would not keep the Company Name in the 2nd line unless I also gave it complete address information, which I don't have. All I have is the person's name, company name, and email address. So, I can add the company name to the "Additional Info" notes for the customer, but doesn't show up on the invoice. What I want is the Invoice to be addressed to
Customer's Name
Company Name
and the email to be addressed to "Hello <Customer's Name>, here is the invoice from us."
If I put the Company Name in the Customer Information section, the invoice looks right, but then the email isn't addressed correctly. If I leave the Company Name blank, then the invoice doesn't look right, but the email is addressed correctly.
