Hi:   I agree with BallardW that you need a PARENT= statement and a few other changes. That's how I produced this output:   Note how the Continued text is cyan/turquoise and the Headers are red on gray. I wanted to show that my changed template was being used. In addition to adding COLOR to the definition for Continued and foreground color and background color to the HEADERS element, I also had to change the TEXT element to hold the actual string I wanted to use for the Continued text. Note that my text says "Continued on Next Page..." because I did this:       style text /          'Fatal Banner' = 'FATAL:'          'Error Banner' = 'ERROR:'          'Warn Banner' = 'WARNING:'          'Note Banner' = 'NOTE:'          'Content Title' = 'Table of Contents'          'Continued' = '(Continued on Next Page ...)' ;   because you had this pretext=text('Continued') in your original code, which is pointing to the Continued attribute in the TEXT style element and your code did not have a Continued attribute in the TEXT style element. So I'm in the habit of using CLASS instead of STYLE and FROM:         class Continued /                                                                                    font = fonts('Titlefont2')             cellpadding = 0          borderwidth = 0          color=darkcyan          borderspacing = 0                                                              pretext = text('Continued')                                                    width = 100%                                                                   textalign = left ;               I have to admit, I didn't bother checking the whole template to see what you had changed from styles.rtf -- I just put a PARENT statement at the top and tweaked a few things and then tried it with PROC PRINT. I didn't really want to bother coming up with a multi-page TABULATE.     Anyway, the full code I submitted is at the bottom of this post. It produced the file I used for the screenshot.   Cynthia   **The code; ods path work.tmp(update) sasuser.templat(update) sashelp.tmplmst(read); proc template; define style Styles.c_style; parent=styles.rtf;
