Tabs and Tables 

Setting Tabs

To enter a tab in your text, you must enter two consecutive commas: ( ,, ). You cannot use the tab key on your keyboard.

Define the tab positions in the paragraph format definition in the style or form you are using. If the paragraph format does not define any tabs, then the tab positions defined in the dialog box Change form header under Basic settings are used.

1. Select one of the predefined paragraph formats for tables, if available, in your style or form.
   A paragraph format for a table usually defines the correct tab settings for the table, since table formatting in SAPscript is done with tabs.
2. Enter and format the header that you wish to use for the table. (Your style or form may provide a special paragraph format for the header, which already includes any special formatting.)
3. Enter and format the text for the columns in the table. You must ensure that the text for each column fits in the column. Enter one or more tabs to separate the text of one column from that of the next.
4. Choose Print ® Preview or print your table to check that you have correctly laid out the text for the table.
