Using footnotes in transfer of SAS data to Excel using ODS tagset.

[judyr]

I am trying to transfer SAS data to Excel using ODS tagset.  The transfer works fine until I get to the footnotes.  If I include only the first footnote the transfer still is correct.  However when I add a second footnote, the text is truncated mid sentence.  When I submit the code with no footnote or only the first footnote, the document opens in Excel without problem.   When I submit the code including the second footnote, I get an Excel Problems During Load box.  In the box it says "Problems came up in the following areas during load:  Worksheet Setting".

If I click OK the document opens correctly, except for the footnote. I started having this problem after I down loaded the most resent tagset version. How can I get the footnote to display correctly? My code is included below.

CODE:

%LET MON=JUNE12;

%LET MONTHw1=APRIL;

%LET MONTHw2=MAY;

%LET MONTHw3=JUNE;

%LET MONTHw1_3=APRIL_JUNE;

%LET RMON1=4;

%LET RMON2=5;

%LET RMON3=6;

%LET RYR='2012';

%LET RYR2=2012;

      TITLE  "&RYR2 ADMISSION ADULTS STATUS REPORTS COMPLETED";

      TITLE2 "&MONTHW1, &MONTHW2, AND &MONTHW3";

            footnote  height=1 JUSTIFY=LEFT "*The month a status report is due is determined by comparing the CIMOR admission date and the most recent status report entered into CIMOR in the past 12 months.";

            footnote2 height=1 JUSTIFY=LEFT "If no previous status report was found in CIMOR in the past 12 months, the due month is the month of the CIMOR admission date.";

*The footnote truncated after "due month is the m'.
