Try adding style=minimal to your ods statement.

ods rtf file = "enhanced_report.rtf" style=minimal;

Subject: sas output to rtf


Hi there:


In order to save sas output to .rtf I usually submit the following code:

proc printto file = "pre_report.txt"
run;

proc report .....;
run;

proc printto;
run;

Once the resulting ascii .txt (pre_report.txt) is generated I open it
using MSWord and then I change papersize(from A4 to letter) and
orientation(from vertical to horizontal), and finally I save as rtf(say
simple_report.rtf).

Following SI recommendations, when trying to use ods rtf I submit:

ods rtf file = "enhanced_report.rtf";

proc report ...;
run;

ods rtf clcse;

The resulting .rtf file (enhanced_report.rtf) includes "formatted"
output like tables, bolding, italic titles and much more. Nice!!!, but I
don't need so much formatting capabilities.

Is there any "automatic" way to use ods rtf in order to produce a very
simple .rtf like the "manual" I generate(simple_report.rtf)?.


Thanks for your help....
