Sty e and Form De#ined %or more information& see Sty es A style defines the set of paragraph and character formats that are a#aila"le for formatting a document. H4 ! Style and %orm <aintenance.
A typical style contains& for example& a definition for a standard paragraph& list paragraph formats& and possi"ly special!purpose paragraph formats for headings& data in forms& and so on. A style also defines such character formats as "oldface and italics.
(f you select a style& this style pro#ides the character and paragraph formats for your document. Any formats defined in the form selected for a document are ignored. He careful& therefore& a"out selecting a style if none is currently selected. Selecting a style in this case can o#erride formats in the form and produce unpredicta"le results.
An include text preser#es the style assigned to an included text.
(f your document is formatted with the SK$%%(4' style and you include a document that uses the SKD$G:SA style& SAPscript formats the included text according to SKD$G:SAI the other text is formatted with SK$%%(4'. Forms A form specifies the page design. (t defines one or more windows and arranges them on a page. *indows are output areas for texts and informatiom& such as the "an routing information on a chec or the items in an in#oice. (n a form& you can specify different page designs for different pages& for example& for the first page and for su"se6uent pages. A form is language!specific. The language of a form is determined "y the print program or "y the language you specify. The language is important "ecause a form can contain pre! defined texts which must of course "e printed in the correct language.
Page ! $+ o# $%

A print program collects information from the R/3 system and from the form& uses the text you entered in the editors& and then generates the document. The print program uses a form and sometimes also a style to format and generate the document.
The program you use determines the windows into which you can enter text. (f& for example& you choose Tools SAPscript Standard text& the system automatically opens window <A(- of form SYST'< for text input.

As inline editor& you can use an editor "ased on screen!processing techni6ues or on the controls technology.

To call this editor& use function module 'D(TKT'ETK(-8(-'. 4ompared with the fullscreen editor& the screen!processing techni6ues ha#e the following restrictions5
The editor does not automatically unite words that are split up at the end of the line. The editing functions a#aila"le in the fullscreen editor are not supported. You can only use the generally a#aila"le elementary editing functions for screen fields. Scrolling in the text is not possi"le. $nly the "eginning of the text line is #isi"le. (f the text lines are wider than the screen fields& you can process that part of the line that is not displayed only in the fullscreen editor. The changes to the text lines are written immediately to the original line ta"le of the text 1Sa"e function of the editor applies automatically3. Thus& you can no longer reconstruct the original state of the text unless you stop all changes made in the transaction from "eing updated.
Contro s Techno ogy The controls technology offers a note editor without formattings and without SAPscript support 1such as sym"ols and commands3I that is& only pure AS4(( text is displayed. To call this editor& use SAP Text'dit.
