The following restrictions relate to the SAPscript menu:

  • You can edit other texts only in the language of the current text by choosing Start of the navigation pathText Next navigation step Other TextEnd of the navigation path.

  • The display mode and change mode for SAPscript texts 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 Microsoft 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 Microsoft 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 Microsoft 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 Microsoft Word.
