I am looking for a way to get rid of two empty lines that always come up after my SGRENDER graph and a footnote below it (nogfootnote bodytitle). Or in general, how can I stop ODS RTF adding empty lines?
Thanks,
Alain

Hi:
Depending on whether you're using SAS 9.2 or not... if you -are- using SAS 9.2 and measured RTF destination (TAGSETS.RTF), you might look at changing the PARSKIP style attribute -- which would allow you to alter the amount of space between tables. I think this would also apply to the space between tables and graphs.
http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/new92/92measuredrtf.html

But you might want to check with Tech Support to get the definitive answer on how PARSKIP would work with tables and graph output. Or to see whether there's a workaround if you're still using SAS 9.1.3.

Many thanks Cynthia!

ODS tagsets.RTF seems to do a better job indeed, but now I don't get a footnote for each SGRENDER, only after the last one on the page. Any clue?

Thanks,

Hi:
Not sure what's going on. Are you using a SAS FOOTNOTE statement or something within a Graph Template, since you're using SGRENDER????

When I run the code below, using TAGSETS.RTF and SGRENDER and some PROC REPORTS, I get TITLES and FOOTNOTES where I expect. If you are having issues with TAGSETS.RTF you might want to work with Tech Support.
