Graphical Documentation Editor

Former Member — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:24:05 GMT

I need to update some documentation for an ABAP program. In SE38, when I select "Change Documentation" it launches the old line editor, which I find almost unusable.

How can I edit the documentation using the RTF editor? That was the default on my old workstation, but something must have been reset on my new machine.

Goto -> Change editor.

You can make it default to the Graphical Documentation Editor under Utlitlies > Settings > SAPScript.

Select the "Graphical PC Editor"

Thanks Rob. When I do that, I get another message:

Unable to find template

Message no. SOFFICEINTEGRATION231

When I select "Configure Editor", it takes me to the screen that Naimesh mentioned.

Any idea what template I need to define, and where?

No long text for the message?

No, unfortunately, that's all that shows. When I drill down to find something else, it leads to nowhere.

Does it take you to the graphical form editor or leave you on the original one?

Thanks for your brain waves on this. It leaves me on the old editor. The message "unable to find template" is displayed on the status bar when I select "Goto->Change Editor". When I click on the status bar message, I get basically the same message in a popup with no further explanation.

Hi, try this:

Go to transaction I18N, in the tree menu look for "I18N System Configuration" and then double click on "MS Word as Editor".

In the next screen be sure that none of the checkboxes are ticked and then click on "Activate"... answer yes, yes and that's it.

Regards.
