Subject:      Re: What option to pretty up CGI output?

I had the same problem when just sending a simple Proc Report to MS-Word.
 I was told to go the SASROOT directory, and edit the CONFIG.SAS file.  In
there are two option lines for ANSI character sets (see below).  I was told
to comment out the first which is enabled as the default, and uncomment the
second.  This should replace your ffff's with ---'s.

OK... here's how I got it partially to obscure the output and it sure
looks
a lot better in Netscape now ;)
 options nocenter ls=120 ;
 proc tabulate noseps formchar=' . .... . . . ...';
 
If there is a better way, please let me know?
