Styles
A style defines the set of paragraph and character formats that are available for formatting a document.
A typical style contains, for example, a definition for a standard paragraph, list paragraph formats, and possibly special-purpose paragraph formats for headings, data in forms, and so on. A style also defines such character formats as boldface and italics.
If you select a style, this style provides the character and paragraph formats for your document. Any formats defined in the form selected for a document are ignored. Be careful, therefore, about selecting a style if none is currently selected.
An include text preserves the style assigned to an included text.
If your document is formatted with the S_OFFICE style and you include a document that uses the S_DOKUS1 style, SAPscript formats the included text according to S_DOKUS1; the other text is formatted with S_OFFICE.
Forms
A form specifies the page design. It defines one or more windows and arranges them on a page. Windows are output areas for texts and information, such as the bank routing information on a check or the items in an invoice.
In a form, you can specify different page designs for different pages, for example, for the first page and for subsequent pages.
A form is language-specific. The language of a form is determined by the print program or by the language you specify. The language is important because a form can contain pre-defined texts which must of course be printed in the correct language.
A print program collects information from the SAP system and from the form, uses the text you entered in the editors, and then generates the document. The print program uses a form and sometimes also a style to format and generate the document.
The program you use determines the windows into which you can enter text. If, for example, you choose
