Merging and Splitting Paragraphs

Use

In the line editor, you can merge two or more paragraphs into one paragraph. You can also split a paragraph into two or more paragraphs.

Merging Consecutive Paragraphs

Delete the paragraph tag in the format column of the second paragraph.
Choose Format. The text of the second paragraph is added to the preceding paragraph. The paragraph format of the first paragraph applies to this newly created paragraph. If you delete the paragraph tag of several consecutive paragraphs, they are all added to the first paragraph.

Merging Non-Consecutive Paragraphs

Mark the text - but not the paragraph tag - of the paragraph you want to add to or insert into another paragraph.
Copy it to the clipboard with Cut.
Use the Backspace key to delete the paragraph tag of the now empty paragraph. The blank line disappears automatically the next time you choose Format or any other SAPscript function.
Place the cursor on the target position and insert the text into the target paragraph with Edit Paste.

Note

Be sure to insert your text from the clipboard before you cut or copy another text. Any new cut or copy operation overwrites the contents of the clipboard.

Splitting a Paragraph

Put the cursor before the first character of the new paragraph.
Choose Continue to insert a second paragraph tag. The new paragraph tag is taken from the original paragraph. You can enter a new paragraph format if required.
