You use a paragraph format to lay out the paragraphs of the text entered in the editor.
In the SAPscript editors, you can assign a paragraph format to each paragraph.
However, you define the attributes of the paragraph formats in the form and style. After the definition, you can assign the corresponding form or style to a standard text. If you do not choose a form or style explicitly, the SAP system assigns the default form SYSTEM. More information: BC - Style and Form Maintenance.
The paragraph format determines:
The font, font size, and the font style
The outline attributes of the paragraphs
The tabs within the paragraph
If you only want to format a character string rather than an entire paragraph, use the appropriate character format.
