Subject: Re: Printing SAS programmes in color
David
I am opening the file into the programme editor (old one)
and the code is displayed on colour immediately.
Only item I can think to check is to look at the "tools,
Options, Program Editor' and then click on the 'Appearance'
tab and ensure that the "Display Code in Color' is selected.
Cheers
Robin
