Editing Text 

Use

Note that, in the MS Word editor, you have two word processing menus:

·        SAPscript menu

·        MS Office menu

 

MS Office Menu

You can use the standard word processing functions from Microsoft® Office in the MS Word editor:

·         Edit

o        Copy, cut, and paste

o        Insert from Office clipboard

o        Find and replace

o        Redo and undo

·         Extras

o        Spelling and grammar ®Thesaurus

o        Language → Translate

·         Use SAP styles and SAP formats

 

If you have Adobe® Acrobat installed on your PC, you can convert SAPscript texts to Portable Document Format (PDF).

If you have MS® Office 2003 installed on your PC, you can convert SAPscript texts to Microsoft® Document Imaging (MDI) and to XML.

 

Constraints

Non-Unicode System

Note the constraints for non-Unicode systems in the chapter The Microsoft® Word Editor.

SAPscript Menu

• Edit ® Command ® Change/Display/Delete: This command is not possible.
• Text → Other Text: You can edit other texts only in the language of the current text.

The display mode and change mode for SAPscript text are not indicated by different colors.

You can use only those paragraph and text formats that have been defined as format templates (such as Header 1). You cannot use any other MS Word formats, and you cannot create your own format templates.

The SAPscript text format ITF does not support all graphics, hyperlinks, tables, or list formats that you can insert in MS Word using the user clipboard or Drag&Drop. To make sure that your text displays correctly once saved, avoid using these two functions in the MS Word editor.

When you open a text in the MS Word editor that you have created in another SAPscript editor, make sure that you also save the text without making changes, to avoid inconsistencies between ITF and MS Word.

 

Procedure

If you want to switch to the line editor, choose Goto ® Change Editor in word processing mode.
