EG: Format Footnotes

[fja]

Dear community, 

in SAS we can provide a footnote statement to provide such a piece of text and we can include formatting instructions.

... but how to do this in EG? You certainly go Options->Titles in the modify task dialog ... but then? How would you format 

"A Test" (last word bold)? 

The problem is, that all text entered are quoted in the generated code ... 

Cheers fja 

PS: I am interested in a solution using the dialogs in EG ... I know how to do that using plain SAS programming ...

I would format them in the output. What file are you outputting them to - Word?

Hello!
Thank you very much for your reply! No I use the SAS Report format as output.
... I am just wondering if something like is possible in a straight fashion
Cheers

Why not bold the "A" as well?:

data a;
a = "cat";
run;

footnote bold "A Test";

proc print data = a;
run;

Make sure you have set an ODS ESCAPECHAR

ods escapechar='^';

Then use that to add style FONTWEIGHT=bold to your string.

A ^{style [fontweight=bold] Test}

Example:

data a;
  a = "cat";
run;

ods escapechar='^';
footnote "A ^{style [fontweight=bold] Test}";

proc print data = a;
run;
