SAS Title statement: Turning off bold text after usage

Rasmus_G — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 08:58:11 GMT

Dear SAS Community members,

I am trying to make a title statement, where the first 2 words should be in bold (Table 1), but the remaining text should be plain not-bold text.

I found a guide saying that bold and italic options should reset after changing font, but that didn't solve the issue (https://support.sas.com/kb/24/853.html).

The code:

title font='Arial' height=6pt justify=left color='black' bold "Table 1"

font='Times New Roman' font='Arial' height=6pt color=black "Point of entry for ....more text.....";

Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?

Best regards,

Rasmus

Hi @Rasmus_G

Maybe something like this?

ods escapechar="^";

title justify=left
	   "^S={font_face='Arial' font_weight=bold font_size=6pt foreground=black}Table 1
	    ^S={font_face='Times New Roman' font_weight=medium font_size=6pt foreground=black}Point of entry for ....more text.....";
