ODS Powerpoint: Border Color Problems?

[Amber1331]

Hello Everyone, 

My table generated from proc report looks perfect in HTML, however when it is ouput into PowerPoint using ODS Powerpoint I lose the border colors. Currently I have the  borders set to white with a 2pt width. The background of my PowerPoint template is a light blue, so the white border would be visible. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

It would help if you could post a program that we could use to reproduced this problem. Also, what version of SAS are you using?

My code with the template that I am using for my powerpoint is attached and I am using 9.4. I have a sneaky suspicion that it has something to do with the picture as a background. 

proc template;
define style styles.appendix;
parent=styles.powerpointlight;
class body/
	backgroundimage="Background.jpg";
class systemfooter / just=left;
style systemfooter / color=black font_Size=8pt;
style table / cellpadding=0pt cellspacing=0pt height=5pt;
end;

proc report data=Slide3 nowd
style(header)=[fontfamily=Calibri fontsize=11pt fontweight=bold foreground=CXFFFFFF background=CX002060 bordercolor=CXFFFFFF just=center vjust=middle borderwidth=2pt]
style(column)=[fontfamily=Calibri fontsize=11pt foreground=black background=CXDEF1F4 bordercolor=white just=center vjust=middle
				borderightwidth=2pt borderleftwidth=2pt bordertopwidth=2pt borderbottomwidth=2pt]
style(report)=[bordertopcolor=CXFFFFFF borderbottomcolor=CXFFFFFF borderrightcolor=CXFFFFFF borderleftcolor=CXFFFFFF
				borderrightwidth=2pt borderleftwidth=2pt bordertopwidth=2pt borderbottomwidth=2pt]
style(lines)=[background=CXDEF1F4 foreground=black fontfamily=Calibri fontsize=18pt just=center vjust=middle bordercolor=CXFFFFFF
				borderrightwidth=2pt borderleftwidth=2pt bordertopwidth=2pt borderbottomwidth=2pt fontweight=bold cellpadding=0pt cellspacing=0pt];
column (label field_description ('Subject' subject)('Term' Term ) grade,(count));
define label/ group order=DATA noprint;
define field_description/ group noprint;
define Subject / " " group order=DATA format=$sub. style=[just=left];
define Term / " "  group format=$term. style=[just=left];
define grade/ across order=DATA ' ' format=$gr.;
define count/ '' analysis format=comma.;
compute term;
if term='c.MOY' and subject='Mathematics' then do;
call define (4,'style','style=[foreground=CXCED1E3]'); end;
else if term='c.MOY' and subject='Reading' then do;
call define (4,'style', 'style=[foreground=CXDFF1F4]');
end;
endcomp;
compute before label;
line label $cat.;
endcomp;
compute subject;
if subject='Mathematics' then do;
	call define (_row_,'style','style=[background=CXCED1E3]');end;
endcomp;
run;

Thanks for the code. I can reproduce this problem. I'm sorry, but I can't come up with a way to work around it. I've reported it and we'll fix it as soon as we can.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look into it.
