Double-spacing Body Text

tburus — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 19:26:36 GMT

I am writing a document in SAS and would like to double space my text. I am using PROC ODSTEXT to allow me more control of other elements. Is there anyway to set this as a feature of the output without having to manually identify line wraps and put in something like the following:

p " ";

or any other tedious hardcoding what I want?

An example of my code is below:

proc odstext pagebreak=no;
	h "{\scaps Note}" / style={fontfamily='Arial' fontweight=bold font_size=12pt just=c};
	p "";
	p "The analyses presented here provide only a brief summary of collected data, with the feasibility
 of a more detailed presentation limited by the extensive breadth and detail contained in the
 dataset. The principal investigator, Dr. X, is happy to provide further
 information or to discuss research partnership opportunities upon request.";
run;

Double space between paragraphs or lines within a paragraph?

BTW

will place an empty paragraph. The literal text of " " you have been using isn't needed.

Within a paragraph. Thanks for the note on the other matter.

Thanks. Is there anyway to set this option so that it double spaces the whole document without having to do this to each p statement manually?

I am afraid not. you can search and replace the odstext p statement with the formatting text. Perhaps write SAS code to insert the codes
