Creating MS Word like doc within SAS

[JFitchTX]

Hey folks,

I'm creating a report that runs data for ~550 different hospitals and generates tables and graphs for each into its own PDF that's then being emailed via SAS. I was able to get through the perceived tough parts but now I need a cover page at the start of each pdf. I'm trying to create a formatted doc that looks like it was created in Word - headers, italicized/underlined/bolded words, etc. I'm having a world of trouble creating this in SAS though! Does anyone know a good paper that explains how to do it? I assume it comes down to the style but I'm not sure how to apply it to specific words. Here's a sample of what I'm looking to do. Any help is appreciated
