HI: It is not a good idea to add your comment in the middle of a year old posting. It would be better to start a new post and refer to this post in your description. I was about to report a problem with the forum system because I did not initially see you post here in the middle of all the other postings from a year ago. The color is NOT gray. Your footnote default color is BLACK. Normally, the "original" RTF -- ODS RTF -- put the footnote from SAS into the "footer area" of the Word document. If you go into Edit Footer mode, you will see that although the footnote text looks gray/grey in the document, when you are in Edit Footer mode, the Footnote is really in black font color. I do not know what you mean when you say, "but the footnote can't apply j=r "@R/RTF'\qr" because with J=R, you should not need to use RTF control strings like \qr. If you run the attached code, you will see that, no matter what destination I use, the colors in the footnote lines are slightly muted versions of the colors that you would see if you went into Edit Footer mode. This explains why the normally black footnote looks gray/grey. When you use TAGSETS.RTF, the footnote is NOT put into the footer section of the Word document. The SAS Footnote is put into the BODY of the document, so there is no muting of the color.
