ods pdf text and justify

[Dave25]

Tried lots of stuff, but can't figure out why this is center justified, and not left justified?

ods pdf file = "C:\temp\test.pdf" ;

ods layout gridded columns=1 rows=1;
ods region;
ODS escapechar="^";
ods pdf text ="^S={just = left} Schools";
ods layout end;

ods pdf close;

thanks,

Dave

That's weird the standard behaviour is for it to appear left by default. 

Even in the examples that's how it works:

In this case they use PROC TEMPLATE to customize it, not sure that's an option for you.

thanks for the suggestion - I've got 10+ layouts, with multiple regions, so didn't want to mess with proc template.

Figured it out - need to remove the "gridded" piece from the ods layout statement (along with the columns= and rows=)
