I am running SAS 9.4 TS Level 1M3. I am using ODS Powerpoint to create a presentation, and I have been unable to adjust the slide margins. Ideally, I would like to have the margins as close to zero as possible so that I can print very close to the edge of the slide. Specifically, I am trying to use a title statement to add text in the upper right corner that appears above the main slide title. Essentially, I'm trying to use title1 as a header above the actual title. So far, the best I have been able to get is margins of 0.25in on top, bottom, left, and right. With margins this large, the main title is pushed further down the slide than I would like. I have tried many different settings and options, but I haven't been able to get anything to print within the first 0.25in of the slide.
Here is my code. Any help is greatly appreciated.
