If you only want to change standard text, start the PC Editor without
using Form Painter. Using Standard text is quicker than accessing
through Form Painter, but you need the technical name of the text
object you want to edit.

The header consists of either administrative data for the form or basic
settings that can be overridden in other parts of the form.
The two elements most important to your customization are font and
page format within the basic settings.
Except for checks, the page format for the U.S. and Canada is LETTER
and DIN A4 for Australia.
The only purpose for the values “Lines per inch” and
”Characters/inch” is to convert the measures specified in lines and
characters to absolute values.
Do not change the values for “Lines per inch” and “Characters/inch” because
you will readjust all tabs and window coordinates. We will discuss fonts later in
Caution this section.
You can easily move to other components without leaving the above screen by
choosing the related button of a component in the menu bar. For example, to
Tips & Tricks move from the header to the page layout, choose Layout in the menu bar.

A paragraph contains all the information needed to format text. In
forms, not all of the formatting possibilities are used because most
form paragraphs consist of only a line or a word.
Font and tabs are the important paragraph formats. If you do not
specify a font, the form uses the default font from the form header. If
you want to create columns for outputting line items of a document,
specify a list of tabs.
If a paragraph uses a small font, set the line spacing to less than one line.
Ensure that the printer can print more than six lines per inch.
Tips & Tricks

Character format overrides paragraph settings for specific words in
a paragraph. For example, you might want to italicize a single
word and not the entire paragraph.
To apply character strings within a paragraph using the PC Editor, mark the
specific text and select the desired character format from the character string
TechTalk box.
To apply character strings using the text editor, turn on the settings for the
character string by enclosing the character string name in angle brackets < >
before the specific text. To return to the standard paragraphs settings, insert a
slash within angle brackets </> at the end of the specific text. For example:
<B>These words will be bold</>.
You can assign character formats to bar code printing. The standard
attributes show:
n Whether a character format is used for bar code printing
n Which bar code format is used (you can choose predefined bar
code formats form a list)

Retain means that underline, italic, or bold settings are retained from
the paragraph. If a character string has no specified font, the
paragraph font is used.

In page layout you can define or change windows.
There is one special window, MAIN, that contains the output of the
document line items.
Except for MAIN, the window type can be either variable (VAR) or
constant (CONST). SAPscript does not distinguish between the
two window types, although both types are mentioned in the
SAPscript documentation.
TechTalk Variable window content is regenerated on every new page. The content of a
constant window is generated once and printed on every page.
This means that, for better performance, windows that contain different
information on different pages must be VAR; all others are CONST. The content
of the window is defined in the SAPscript editor.
If you activate the Form Painter and choose Page layout from the Form
Painter: Request screen, the following two screens appear:
n Form: Change Page Layout screen (also referred to as the
Administrative Screen)
n Graphical Form Painter (also referred to as the Design Window)
Figure 2–1 shows the synchronized screens you work with to modify
page layout. You can easily move between screens by clicking on the
desired screen.

Storing technical documentation for forms is a useful feature of
SAPscript. Here, you can look for information about form variables,
know when the print program fills the variables, and easily describe
all your changes. We highly recommend using this feature, especially
if you want to modify a form.
