If a statistic is requested in the TABLES statement in PROC FREQ, the title that precedes the statistic table, "Statistics for Table of X by Y", is repeated in the RTF destination. The STARTPAGE=NO option must also be in effect in the ODS RTF statement.

The following code replicates the problem:

   ods rtf file='filename.rtf' startpage=no;
 
   proc freq data=dsn;
    tables X*Y / chisq;
   run;

   ods rtf close;

In SAS 9.2, the work-around is to use ODS TAGSETS.RTF rather than ODS RTF to create the output. This is fixed in the RTF destination in SAS 9.3.
