When the SAS/GRAPH® options COLOR=, FONT=, HEIGHT=, or JUSTIFY= are used to change the attributes of all or part of the text in a TITLE or FOOTNOTE statement and PROC DOCUMENT is used to replay the output, the replayed text does not apply the specified options. The TITLE and FOOTNOTE statement text in the HTML, PDF, and RTF output uses the default color, font, height, and justification settings.

If you are running the third maintenance release of SAS 9.2 (TS2M3), the sample code on the Full Code tab provides a workaround using the ACTITLE and ACFOOTN options on the REPLAY statement. Alternatively, a hot fix is also available by request from SAS Technical Support. Once the hot fix is applied, the workaround code is not necessary.

* For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be fixed.

The JUSTIFY=, COLOR=, HEIGHT=, and FONT= options are not persisted in the ODS PDF output unless the TITLE and FOOTNOTE is restated and the ACTITLE and ACFOOTN (ACTIVETITLE/ACTIVEFOOTNOTE) options are specified on the REPLAY statement for PROC DOCUMENT.

Note: If only TITLE statements use these options, only the TITLE statements need to be restated with ACTITLE in use. If only FOOTNOTE statements use these options, only the FOOTNOTE statements need to be restated with ACFOOTN on the REPLAY statement.
