If you talking about smartform than from SMARTSTYLES

if Script Than from CHARACTER format.

Hi Tanisha,

Yes there might be some restriction on that. Because When we observe in the MS Word, we can see that the minimum font size is 8 pt.

Try taking a Hardcopy and check whether it is printing or not, sometimes print preview does not display smaller fonts.

Hi Karthik.

Hi Tanisha,

To take print out of a smartform, goto t-code SMARTFORMS.

Give your smartform name. Press Execute.

This will goto corresponding Function module of your smartform. Then Execute the Function module. Give input fields if there are any.

It will ask for Print. Search and give the correct Printer name and press Print.

If its not printing directly it may be in the Spool. Then you need to goto SP01 and press 'Print Directly' button.

Hope this helps

Cheers,

Kothand
