Text Parameters Procedure
To define the text parameters, you must complete the steps shown in the following figure.
[...]
Etape 1. To create text windows

You must specify the text window’s properties, which define the layout of the text window. For example, the text window’s frame, color, size and shape.

NOTE: If you use the multiline editor as the external editor, only the number of columns and number of rows are relevant. In that case, the frame and color are defined by default. However, you must make a selection in all fields because you can also use other editors for the text group.

  1. On the Infor LN Tools menu, select Text Management > Text Parameters > Text Windows. The Fenêtres de texte (tttxt1520m000) session appears.
  2. Click the New button on the toolbar. The Fenêtres de texte (tttxt1520m000) details session appears.
  3. Enter the text window’s properties. If you use the BAAN editor, you must define all properties. For the multiline editor, you must only define the number of columns and number of rows. The frame and color are default defined.
  4. Click Save to save the text window’s properties, and then click Close to quit the session.
Etape 2. To create text groups

You must define the text group ’s properties. For every type of text you can define text groups with specific properties. You must assign the text editor best suited to the text window’s function.
