text modules are reusable pluging texts which are reusable in multiple forms,

these are used when either u want them to reuse or need to provide translations, in all other cases u use text elements as they are simpler to use

Hi,

Text element is an editor where in u can maintain custom text as well as include custom variable. Where as There are texts that frequently appear in your forms. You can use text modules to store these texts centrally in the system. This detaches text maintenance from form maintenance, with the result that you do not need to call the Form Builder to edit individual texts.

Hi,

Text Elements (locally in form)

To include data from the form interface (data from application tables) or system data (date, time) into the text, use system fields or user-defined fields in the text When processing the form, SAP Smart Forms replaces these fields with the corresponding values

Text Modules (for reusing texts)

You can use text modules to store texts that frequently appear in your forms which is stored centrally in the system. This detaches text maintenance from form maintenance, with the result that you do not need to call the Form Builder to edit individual texts.
