Styles are applied to the formatted ODS destinations based on the defaults for that destination. Below are the default styles for each destination.

HTML	Styles.Default
RTF	Styles.Rtf
Printer/PDF	Styles.Printer

To modify the styles that are used by default with an ODS destination, the SAS Registry can be modified to change the style. This can be done interactively using the SAS Registry editor, or in batch using PROC REGISTRY.

To modify the style interactively, follow the steps below.

1. From the command line, submit the command REGEDIT.
2. Under SAS_REGISTRY, select the keys [ODS\DESTINATIONS\{Destination to modify}].
3. Click on Selected Style and change the style to the appropriate style.

To modify the styles programmatically, use the REGISTRY procedure with the appropriate keys.

The code below will list the ODS destinations along with the style assigned to each destination by default.

The three examples in the Full Code tab illustrate how to modify the HTML, RTF, and PDF destinations, respectively, changing the style that each destination uses by default.
