Nice tips. Yet more motivation to get 9.4. Recently I've become a big fan of the %modstyle() macro SAS provides. For folks not intimately familiar with style template ins and outs, it's an easy way to create a new style template with the desired attributes. And not only is the macro useful, looking into the macro code itself, it's very well written, and exceptionally well documented. Quite impressive. This paper describes the use. http://support.sas.com/rnd/app/ODSGraphics/papers/modtmplt.pdf
