ODS PowerPoint-how to adjust space between titles and footnotes.

[happy_mouth]

Hi there,

I'm using SAS 9.4. I was wondering if there is a way to adjust the vertical space between elements when plotting using ODS PowerPoint. In my dummy example, I would like to decrease the space between Title2 and Title3 (the "legend"). I'd also like to decrease the space between the last plot row and Footnote1, and the spaces between the three footnotes in general.

I've tried some of the suggestions for the other output destinations but I haven't gotten them to work for PowerPoint.

Thanks!

Below is the output and the code.

	length variablename $25 measure $10;
	infile datalines dlm=' ' dsd;
	input variablename $ measure $ macvalue measurey;

The TITLE option MOVE might help.

At this point in the day I am too lazy to try to replace all of your path and macro values to test this though.
