Tabs and Tables Settings

Procedure

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 within a paragraph 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.

Creating Tables

Select one of the predefined paragraph formats for tables, if available, in your style or form. Since tables in SAPscript are laid out using tabs, a paragraph format for a table usually defines the correct tab settings for the table.
Enter and format the table header. (Your style or form may provide a special paragraph format for the header, which already includes any special formatting).
Enter and format the text for the table columns. You must ensure that the text for each column fits into the column. Enter one or more tabs to separate the text of one column from that of the next.

Choose Start of the navigation path Text Next navigation step Print Preview End of the navigation path to check whether you have correctly laid out the text for the table.
