Tarrant County SAS User Group

Please join us for the meeting on May 3, 2012.

You'll have the opportunity to network with local

SAS users, boost your skills and learn about some

of the latest SAS tools and technologies.

A compatible relationship is one in which the associated

entities complement each other’s strengths and

compensate for each other’s weaknesses. This

relationship is certainly the case when you combine the

power of ODS and the flexibility of Microsoft Office. This

paper describes how you can create outstanding

spreadsheets via the harmonious union of ODS with

Microsoft Office applications.

The paper explores the relationships among ODS

destinations (for example, ExcelXP and MSOffice2K) as

well as custom tagsets (for example, the TableEditor

tagset). In addition, thepaper explains how these

components enable you to generate highly presentational

spreadsheets.

This paper covers the following topics:

• specific layout techniques such as paneling tables and

graphics and positioning output in a worksheet

• common issues (related to styles, cell formatting, and so

on) that occur when you export data

• customization of your output in Microsoft Word using the

RTF destination and the tagset

• generated output that can be read into Microsoft Access

and other Office applications
