If I want to insert RTF code that will impact the whole document (in this case, I want to change the page number formatting to roman numerals) where would I put that in my code? I've tried adding to the first title in the header and to the page number code and neither has any impact.

Thanks

Rose:
This is a question best answered by Tech Support. I do not know the RTF control string for changing the page number to Roman numerals. I do know that in SAS 8 (before 'Escapechar + {Pageof}' was available), I could do this to get the page number in either the title or the footnote.

I know that RTF is very picky -- one wrong \ or {} and Word will not open the RTF file. That's why Tech Support is your best bet for more help on this question.
