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.
