Although SAS Enterprise Guide supplies you with many output styles, you still might not be able to find a style that fits your needs. You can use the Style Manager to modify existing styles for HTML and SAS Report output, and you can add styles to your project that you may have created outside SAS Enterprise Guide. You cannot modify styles for use with RTF or PDF output types.

Opening the Style Manager
Open the Style Manager by selecting

Tools ► Style Manager

from the menu bar. The Style Manager provides you with a list of available styles in the box on the left. When you click a style, you will see a preview of the style in the box on the right.

Editing an existing style
To edit an existing style, first create a copy of the style. Click the style in the Style Manager window, and then click
Create a Copy. This opens the Save Style As window where you give the new style a name and choose a storage location.

Now you can edit the copy of the style you just saved. Click the new style name in the Style Manager window, and click Edit.

This opens the Style Editor window. There are several elements of the output where you can control the style. The preview area on the left shows the current style of these elements. Choose the element you want to edit by clicking it in the preview area on the left, or selecting it from the Active element drop-down list. Then select the attributes to use for that element in the area on the right. In this example, the SAS System Title is given a Bold text style, 14pt font text size, and a background color. In addition to changing the style of the text, you can control borders using the Borders tab, and add images to your style using the Images tab. Click OK when you are finished making changes to the style. Then click OK in the Style Manager window to save your changes.

Using the new style
The new style you created will appear in the My Styles section of the list of styles. You can select it for any HTML or SAS Report output, or set it to be the default style.

Result with new style
Here is what a result looks like using the Copy of Seaside style.

In 1992, Susan Slaughter and Lora Delwiche teamed up to write The Little SAS Book: A Primer, now in its third edition, which quickly became a popular item on SAS users' bookshelves. 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.

Their books are available from the online bookstore.
