Yam (2000) described a method used to ABSTRACT generate Word tables by transferring SAS data to Excel with Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), which serves as an intermediary for Generating SAS ASCII output directly with PROC REPORT or a repackaging SAS data with a Visual Basic for Application (VBA) DATA _NULL_ step is the most common method used by SAS macro and interfacing with Word via Object Linking and Embedding programmers in the pharmaceutical industry. However, because of (OLE) to get the Excel table into Word. With this method, 24 SAS the many limitations of SAS ASCII files for presentation and variables must be derived in order to instruct Excel to format a table handling, more and more medical writers, biostatisticians, appropriately. Therefore, the process may be time-consuming and publishers, and expert reviewers now request SAS reports in Word difficult to maintain. Within Quintiles, some of my colleagues insert document format. This paper introduces a macro that provides a a text file or copy the SAS output from the SAS output window and process to produce aesthetically improved Word documents with paste it into Word, then run a VBA macro to format the output and very limited programming effort. The macro was designed to expand save it as Word document. The method is very simple and easy, but the presentation capability of ASCII files, to accommodate various only one file is processed at a time and some minor manual effort is fonts, font sizes, and margins, to add one of eighteen pagination required.

  • An XML Model of CSS3 As an XƎL ATEX-TEXML-HTML5 Stylesheet
    An XML model of CSS3 as an XƎLATEX-TEXML-HTML5 stylesheet language S. Sankar, S. Mahalakshmi and L. Ganesh TNQ Books and Journals Chennai Abstract HTML5[1] and CSS3[2] are popular languages of choice for Web development. However, HTML and CSS are prone to errors and difficult to port, so we propose an XML version of CSS that can be used as a standard for creating stylesheets and tem- plates across different platforms and pagination systems. XƎLATEX[3] and TEXML[4] are some examples of XML that are close in spirit to TEX that can benefit from such an approach. Modern TEX systems like XƎTEX and LuaTEX[5] use simplified fontspec macros to create stylesheets and templates. We use XSLT to create mappings from this XML-stylesheet language to fontspec-based TEX templates and also to CSS3. We also provide user-friendly interfaces for the creation of such an XML stylesheet. Style pattern comparison with Open Office and CSS Now a days, most of the modern applications have implemented an XML package format that includes an XML implementation of stylesheet: InDesign has its own IDML[6] (InDesign Markup Language) XML package format and MS Word has its own OOXML[7] format, which is another ISO standard format. As they say ironically, the nice thing about standards is that there are plenty of them to choose from. However, instead of creating one more non-standard format, we will be looking to see how we can operate closely with current standards. Below is a sample code derived from OpenOffice document format: <style:style style:name=”Heading_20_1” style:display-name=”Heading

  • Seven Steps to Regulatory Publication Style with Proc Report Dennis Gianneschi, Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA
    Seven Steps to Regulatory Publication Style With Proc Report Dennis Gianneschi, Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA ABSTRACT This paper outlines SAS® 9.1.3 coding steps to produce output that meets "Regulatory Publication Style". This style is specific to my clinical trial reporting environment and is composed of requirements coming from two separate sources. The first source is an internal company document called the Style Guide for Regulatory Submission, which all output submitted to a regulatory agency must follow. The second source is the publishing software itself, which processes all output into the regulatory filing. Examples of style guide requirements are: RTF output, Arial font, and that footnotes must attach to the bottom of the table without a box drawn around them. Publishing system requirements are: a) The user controls the type of line breaks, either soft, {\line}, or hard, {\par}, in the title, which controls how much of the title is picked up by the publishing software and put in the table of contents. b) Each line, such as a spanning underline or the line between the table body and the footnotes, must have a minimum thickness of 19 twips. c) Section breaks are not allowed. d) Table title and footnotes cannot be in the header or footnote section of the RTF document. e) Table title must be "free text" on the page and not in a table structure. The seven steps to achieve this style are: 1) proc template, 2) statistical procs (optional), 3) reformat data (optional), 4) add pagination and footnotes, 5) proc report, 6) post process RTF file, and 7) View in WORD® (optional).

  • Style Guide for Graduate Students
    THE STYLE GUIDE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS Presentation is vitally important. This is not because there is any virtue in following rules for their own sake, but because the rules make sense - an essay or dissertation that is well written and properly laid out will gain your readers' confidence and convey your message to them as efficiently as possible. Getting the presentation right is an essential part of the historian's craft. The rules in this guide should be followed in all class essays and assessed work, as well as in the dissertation or thesis. The standard authority on all matters of presentation and format is Judith Butcher, Copy-editing for Editors, Authors, Publishers, 3rd edn, (Cambridge, 1992), and the MHRA Style Guide (2002), of which there is a copy in the Graduate Programme Office. The MHRA Style Guide can also be accessed at http://www.mhra.org.uk/Publications/Books/StyleGuide/. A FORMAT a) The thesis should be typed (or printed), on A4 paper, on one side only. b) There should be a 4cm (1½-inch) margin at the left-hand side of the page, and an adequate margin on the other three edges. c) Spacing: The text of your essay should be double-spaced. The footnotes (or endnotes) should however be single-spaced. d) Indentation: Except for the very first paragraph under a new heading, the first line of every paragraph should be indented. You do not need to add extra spacing between paragraphs: the indentation alone tells the reader that you have begun a new paragraph. e) Pagination: Number each page of your essay.
