suppress automatic bookmarks

I have a user who wants to suppress the automatic 'idx' bookmarks created by proc report when writing to a document using ODS RTF. Is this possible?

Can you clarify your question more ? Post an example/desired output.

Or you want this ?

Hi! So I've attached the proc report code and a screen shot of the output that is created. By default, there is a Word bookmark created called idx. We have a user who does not like this, and wants no bookmarks in their output. My guess is that they can only be removed manually.

Sorry.

It looks like your issue is coming from options

ANCHOR= 'anchor-name'

BOOKMARK='anchor-name' .

ods rtf file="c:\temp\test.rtf" bookmark='xx';                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
proc report nowd data=sashelp.class; 
run; 
ods rtf close;

Unfortunately, I am unable to find some option like NOBOOKMARK.

Maybe @Cynthia_sas know a solution, or buy a ticket to sas support.
