Wordstyle option in ODS RTF

Reeza — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 00:02:51 GMT

Does anyone know if the wordstyle option that was pre-production in SAS 9.1 make it through to SAS 9.2?

It seems to work, but I haven't been able to find documentation on it in 9.2, not sure I'm looking in the correct place.

Want to know if I can create levels of TOC using wordstyles.

ods rtf file='c:\temp\test.rtf' wordstyle="{\s1 Heading 1; \s2 Heading 2;}" ;

Hi:
You are correct, WORDSTYLE is not documented here:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/odsug/61723/HTML/default/a002233360.htm
or
here http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/odsug/61723/HTML/default/a003152286.htm (for TAGSETS.RTF)

I am only aware of mentions in these papers:
http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi29/084-29.pdf
http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2007/097-2007.pdf
http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2008/238-2008.pdf

You may wish to open a track with Tech Support to get the "official" scoop on WORDSTYLE. Generally if a feature like this is announced, (as it is here:
http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/ods/odsrtf/rtf901.html ) it is considered "pre"-production until it hits the documentation -- but it is worth checking to see whether this is one that slipped through the cracks.

Thanks, will do, trying to cover my bases for a paper more so than a production problem so not as urgent.
