Hi: That's a very interesting question. Usually, with a question like this, I ask myself can I do xyz in abc product when SAS is not in the mix? So I went to PowerPoint and I tried to make a PPT deck that had 1 background for 1 slide and a different background for the rest of the slides, and I don't see how to do that. I can select a blank presentation to start and then I can select Slide Master to apply a background, but in PPT, without SAS involved, the background style that I select applies to the whole presentation. I can't have one background on the title slide and a different background on the other slides. I suppose I can create my own theme, but that is within PPT, not within SAS. So, my guess is that if you can't do it in PowerPoint -- just in PowerPoint -- by itself, then SAS can't do it either. But, ultimately, I think you have a question or two for Tech Support. cynthia Also, the default for PROC ODSTEXT is for the PAGEBREAK option to be set to NO. Have you tried using PAGEBREAK=yes, as shown in the doc? SAS(R) 9.4 Output Delivery System: Procedures Guide (ODSTEXT doc) Following the doc resulted in 2 slides when I ran the code below. ods _all_ close; options nodate; title 'Using PROC ODSTEXT'; footnote 'The ODS Destination for PowerPoint'; ods powerpoint file="c:\temp\use_pgbreak.ppt" ; proc odstext; p 'Twas brillig and the slithy toves.'; p 'Did gyre and gimble in the wabe' / style=[color=red fontsize=25pt]; p 'All mimsy were the borogroves.' / style=[color=purple fontsize=30pt]; p 'And the mome raths outgrabe.' / style=[color=purple fontsize=30pt]; run; proc odstext pagebreak=yes; p 'Beware the Jabberwock my son!'; p 'The jaws that bite the claws that snatch' / style=[color=red fontsize=25pt]; p 'Beware the Jubjub bird and shun' / style=[color=purple fontsize=30pt]; p 'The frumious Bandersnatch' / style=[color=purple fontsize=30pt]; run; ods _all_ close;
