In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "Enter name as SalesToContractSM."

A block of code is set as follows:

CREATE OR REPLACE PRODECURE CHECKOPPORTUNITY (
OPPID IN VARCHAR2,
OPPTYPE OUT VARCHAR2,
OPPREV OUT VARCHAR2) AS
BEGIN
SELECT OPPORTUNITYTYPE, OPPORTUNITYREVISION INTO OPPTYPE, OPPREV
FROM VALIDATEOPPORTUNITY
WHERE OPPORTUNITYID = OPPID;
END;

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Open the Resource Palette, by selecting the menu View | Resource Palette"
