Centering Text Using ODS TAGSETS.RTF

[jackieme]

I am trying to center text in ods tagsets.rtf output, but the text is still left justified even with j=c.

ods escapechar="^";

ods tagsets.rtf file="&outpath.\table1.rtf";

ods text="^S={j=c fontsize=13pt fontweight=bold}First text on page.";

ods tagsets.rtf close;

Thanks!

You have to tell SAS how wide the text display area is. Add a Leftmargin= 1in and Rightmargin=1in or similar to the ODS Text. Pick your measurement as needed and you can use units of IN (inches) CM (centimeters) . There are other units but this are pretty easily understood.

Hi:

  You need to make a STYLE template change with PDF and RTF destinations to alter the justification of the ODS TEXT strings in the output. The style element that changes the ODS TEXT value is the USERTEXT style element. Here's an example, compared to changing title:

You'll find more about changing style templates in this paper https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings10/033-2010.pdf  and about templates in general in this paper: https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings09/227-2009.pdf ..

Hope this helps,

Cynthia
