When I run PROC MEANS and send the output to PDF, the default is a column for variable label that is narrow and often wraps to two lines to fit the whole thing. That would be OK, but none of the other columns skip a line to keep up with the label. So after any label wraps, the  associated statistics (the ones you'd normally read left to right across a row) are actually from other variables--nothing lines up. How can I get the other columns to automatically stay aligned with the intended variable?

 

 

 

Like this:

var1  this is a long label that continues 123.5

var2 on the next line                              238.4

var3 this is actually var2's label             437.2

var4 this is actually var3's label             123.9

Change the page orientation to be landscape instead of portrait?

Or send the output to a data set and use Proc Print where you have more display controls than Proc Means.

Any details on how one might do that?
