I am creating a report (proc print) from ODS to Excel and getting a 'gray' background cell following the title lines and before the column headers. Also, same following the body and the footnotes.

How can I change the background color? I was reading that I could use 'cellspacing=0', but wasn't sure where to place this option.

Thanks,

Most of the appearance options are controlled by the ODS style in effect including page background colors.. You might change the style.

Also providing your ODS output statement, if any and the proc print code used might point us to some more specific help.
