IW21 and IW22 item history opening MS Word

[former_member693168]

Hi to all. As you can see in pictures below, when I access IW21 or IW22 and try to edit the history text of item the SAP has been opening MS Word editor. I like to use the standard SAP editor. What must I do?

Thanks best regards.

In ECC 6.0 you can remove this for your specific user ID following this process:

1) Go to a long text and try to modify it

2) On the top menu click on Go to --> Configure Editor

3) Uncheck the graphical PC editor box

Once you do this change, the editor will show each row individually like the screenshot attached.

I do not think that there is a way to go back to exactly how it used to work

The Word editor is honestly quite clunky, I get plenty of phone calls from users whose Word changes are modified after Microsoft upgrades. It's honestly quite annoying, but it is what it is.

See note 2807589 to solve a common issue with multiple monitors and the use of Word long text editor https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2807589

Perfect! The item related to SAP note 2807589 works fine. God bless you.
