Odd page Header and different Even page Header in an RTF document

NR13 — Fri, 09 Aug 2019 15:14:27 GMT

Hi! I'm wondering if there is a way to code Header1 on all the odd pages and Header2 on all the even pages, using ODS RTF?

Hi:
I am not aware that this is possible with ODS RTF. You might have to wait for ODS WORD, which can make a .docx file to be able to do this. That would be a question for Tech Support.

Thanks, Cynthia!

I know you can insert a page number into a footer. Is it possible to call that page number? I'm thinking maybe I could work around it, with an 'If page# in (1,3,5) then do;'

Hi:
That sounds like something you'd do in Visual Basic or Visual C++ -- it's not something you can really do in SAS. The page numbers are NOT "callable". Imagine what happens if someone opens the RTF file and readjusts the margins at the top and bottom to be 2 inches -- the page breaks and page numbers will be different.
