Since the EMF graphs that SAS 9.3 creates are bitmap image files, these graphs cannot be edited in Microsoft Word. If you try to edit the SAS 9.3 EMF graph in Word, you will see a blank screen after selecting Edit Picture and converting the graph to a Microsoft Office drawing object.

Currently, the only way to circumvent the problem is to use SAS code to write an EMF file directly to disk. You can do this using the EMF device driver as shown below:

ods _all_ close; 
ods listing; 

filename grafout 'c:\temp\sastest.emf'; 

goptions reset=goptions device=EMF gsfname=grafout
         gsfmode=replace; 

/* Your graph procedure code goes here */

You can also use the SASEMF device driver as shown below:

ods _all_ close; 
ods listing; 

filename grafout 'c:\temp\sastest.emf'; 

goptions reset=goptions device=SASEMF gsfname=grafout
         gsfmode=replace;

/* Your graph procedure code goes here */
