Ods word: can't open the document

[SASdevAnneMarie]

Hello Experts,

Is it possible to make the ods word document with SAS 8.3 version ?

My code is :

ods noresults;
ods escapechar="^";
footnote4 J=Right font =Arial  HEIGHT=8pt '^{thispage}/^{lastpage}';
options orientation=landscape /*topmargin=1.5cm bottommargin=1.5cm*/
leftmargin=1.5 cm rightmargin=1.5cm nodate nonumber;

ods word file="&Publications.\ANNEXE_FI_&DatePubli..docx";

proc report data=Resultats  split='|' nowd 
	style(report)=[ frame = hsides background  = white    bordercolor = CX1457D9 borderwidth =.1cm  rules=rows just=left] style(header)=[background =white font_size = 8pt font_face = 'Arial' font_weight = bold color=black just = center bordercolor = white] style(column)=[font_size = 8 pt font_face = 'Arial' bordercolor=black color =black just = c];
	columns ('Annexe fi'  ( "Code ISIN"n
		"Nom support"n
		"Société de gestion"n)) ('' ("Performance brute de l'actif N1"n ))
		('' ("Frais de gestion de l'actif"n ))
		('' ("Performance nette de l'UC"n )) 
		('' ("Frais de gestion du contrat"n ))   
		('' ("Performance finale"n ))   
		( ("Taux de rétrocessions de commiss"n )) 
	;

run;

ods word close;

The data is joined. 

I have no error but I can't open the file :

Thank you for the help !

ODS Word is still pre-production. That means that it may have problems, and some of them may not be obvious.

I suggest using ODS RTF and then use a word processing program to convert to DOCX if needed.

I have tried ODS Word with some Proc Tabulate tables that have worked with RTF for years and wasn't happy with results though graphs from Proc SGplot seem to work fine.

Thank you ballardw !
RTF is works.
How to convert the RTF file to DOCX please ?

I would suggest clicking on the RTF document outside of SAS and see which program opens (If you have Word installed that is likely to be the program). Then in that program File Save AS and select DOCX as the file format.

Thank you, Ballardw!
That works !

I would hope so. On some days I do this more than 25 times. (I really don't like the appearance of some of ODS Word output for some of my tables.)

Did you actually write anything to the WORD document?

Doesn't that first line shut down ODS from writing anything?

ods noresults;

[SASdevAnneMarie]

Thank you, Tom.
Yes, I write. I put ods noresults; just for non-appearance of documents in SASEG.
