Hi,
When generating tables and listings for a clinical study report (as in the attachment), in order to fit a lot of columns on a page and to avoid bells and whistles like borders and shadings, I output to a plain text file (ods listing file="report.txt"), then I cut and paste it to MS Word, setting a SAS Monospace font of size 7, but now that I have too many listings to produce, I would like to do it automatically (that is I would like to output directly to an RTF file with the specified font). If there is an easy solution for that, what is it? Otherwise what should I learn do solve this? I use SAS 9.2.
Thanks for any tips

You need to customize your own template with the spaces and font required.
Here's an example of one that I've used to customize my reports.

This may repeat @Reeza's information but I can't access Github from work. One approach would be to create a new ODS style and set the font and size everywhere where to the monospace font.
Then use that style on an ODS RTF (or tagsets.RTF) statement:
ODS RTF file="path\file.rtf" style=MySpecialMono;
<output generating procedures>
ODS rtf close;
Thanks a million Ballardw and Reeza. I am looking into PROC TEMPLATE now, hopefully I will be writing with a style in no time. For any PROC-TEMPLATE-specific questions I will open a new thread.
