The output style determines the overall look for your output. The colors, fonts, and layout of your output are all defined in the style. SAS Enterprise Guide comes with many different styles, so if you don’t like the style of your output, you can change it. The only output type that does not have a style associated with it is the text output type. But for the other output types— HTML, RTF, PDF, and SAS Report—you can choose from a number of styles.

Setting the default output style
When you first install SAS Enterprise Guide, the default style for HTML and SAS Report output is EGDefault. This style includes the SAS logo at the top, and the words “SAS Enterprise Guide.” The RTF and PDF output types also come with default styles. If you want to change the default style for any of the HTML, RTF, PDF, or SAS Report output types, you can do this in the Options window. Open the Options window by selecting

Tools ► Options

from the menu bar. Click the type of output (HTML, RTF, PDF, or SAS Report) in the selection pane on the left to open the page for that type of output. Then select the style you want for that output type from the Style drop-down list. Once you make this change, every task you run will use the style you select for that output type.

Changing the output style for a task
If you want to change the output style for the results of a particular task, you can do this in the Properties window for the task. Right-click the task icon in the Project Explorer or Project Designer and select Properties. Then click Results in the selection pane on the left to open the Results page of the Properties window. Check the box next to Override the preferences set in Tools -> Options, and then you can select the result format and a style from the drop-down list for each format.

Results
Here is what HTML output looks like using the Seaside style.

They have presented numerous papers at local, regional, and international SAS users group meetings. Their interactions with other SAS users have inspired them to write books that are both informative and enjoyable to use. Susan currently works as a consultant through her company, Avocet Solutions, while Lora works in research at the University of California, Davis.
