A template is designed primarily for fixed information, such as a grid in a secondary window.

A table is designed for information of unknown height (until runtime, anyway) but fixed width. It is always found inside a MAIN window.

Hi,

Check page 8 of this PDF.

http://help.sap.com/bp_presmartformsv1500/DOCU/OVIEW_EN.PDF

and

Template Displays texts for table cells of a static table

Table Display table contents

and also

when you define a table, in fact you define row type.

After that, you use a row type with data.

when you define a template, you have the whole struture in statitc.

Example: you have items, but for some item, you would like to print text. The row type will be different, you don't know the size (number of line) of your text. So you can only use the table.

Feel Free to revert back.
