		<Steps><Step><StepTitle>To create text windows</StepTitle>
				<Paragraph class="Default">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.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph class="Default">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.</Paragraph>
				<ProcedureList><ListItem>On the ERP LN Tools menu, select Text Management &gt; Text Parameters &gt; Text Windows. The <Link href="/baanerp/tt/txt/tttxt1520m000" role="session">Text Windows (tttxt1520m000)</Link> session appears.</ListItem>

				<Paragraph class="Default">You must define the <Link href="/baanerp/tt/glossary/glossary#000024" role="glossary">text group</Link> ’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. For example, you can use a multiline editor to write queries and Word for texts that contain additional information, e.g., about items and sales orders.</Paragraph>
