O by the way, SAS ODS TAGSETS.RTF supports watermark nicely.  See the code: ods tagsets.rtf file="~/sasout/test.rtf" style=rtf options(watermark="Student Data"); proc report data = sashelp.class; run; ods tagsets.rtf close; run;   ... View more

Wondering whether there has been any progress here for SAS 9.4 - any way to prevent these automatic section breaks with the RTF destination. I understand the implications of suppressing section breaks (titles, etc), but nonetheless it seems like a basic option.   I have trouble believing that this remains impossible, given the number of customizations that are available ... but all my attempts today have failed 🙂   Thanks! @wayne_sas wrote: There are a couple of things to try before contacting SAS Technical Support...   ...

Hi: There is nothing to "get working" ODS RTF is working as designed and ODS TAGSETS.RTF is working as designed. ODS RTF is the "original" RTF -- the page numbering instructions, when you use ODS ESCAPECHAR are inserted into the HEADER and FOOTER areas of the document, which then are resolved (by Word) when the document is opened in Edit mode. ODS TAGSETS.RTF works slightly differently, the SAS TITLE and FOOTNOTE are -inside- the document, but not in the HEADER and FOOTER area. When you create a document with TAGSETS.RTF, the field codes do not show in the body of the document because of Microsoft Word behavior. These field codes are not shown in Edit mode -- that's how Word works. Your choices are to switch back to ODS RTF so your titles and footnotes go into the header/footer area of the document or to use the style template method already outlined by Wayne in his answer to your question. cynthia ...

Hi All There are another 2 choices to Cynthia’s list I could think off. 1) Use ODS OO features (See SUGI28 paper 22-28 by Daniel O’Connor). This is only experimental in v9.1 though. 2) By post-processing your RTF file. What you need to do is to tag the cells as 2j4tdas2yl (sorry don’t know your name) mentioned then post-process accordingly. I agree with 2j4tdas2yl - that is I don’t think the new features (bordertop … ect ) in 9.2 will help in this case because I believe its apply to per column and I think John is asking per cell level. Here are some exmples of what you can do: www.tranz.co.uk click on the downlod button. Duong ... View more
