In a style you can define character and paragraph formats that you want to use independently of forms. The SAP System provides styles, for example, for mail messages and for online documentation.

You can assign a style to any SAPscript text. If you do this, the text in the main window is formatted according to the paragraph and character definitions of the style, not the form. Any format definitions in the form are unavailable for use.

Observe these naming conventions for style names:

• The name must start with a letter.

• The name may contain only letters or numbers.

• The name can be up to eight characters long.
