SAS Users Groups

SAS users groups are user-based communities supported by SAS Institute that are organized by geographical or industrial areas. These users groups typically have annual meetings where you can go to leam and to network with fellow SAS programmers.

There are many ways to take traditional SAS monospace font output and place it into Microsoft Word RTF files. The traditional way to get SAS output into Microsoft Word is to open a Word file and import the SAS LST output manually. Then you adjust the Word margins and font sizes to get your Word document to cooperate with the PAGESIZE and LINESIZE settings that you had in SAS. Some industrious individuals have written elaborate Visual Basic macros in Microsoft Word to import large numbers of SAS LST files automatically into Word. There are also several SAS users group papers on how to convert traditional SAS output into RTF output. Another approach to getting traditional ASCII SAS output into an RTF file is simply to wrap RTF commands around your ASCII SAS output. Here are the steps you would take to do this ... 

If you are creating RTF files for your SAS output, you should know that you can pass RTF commands to your output and Microsoft Word will interpret them. For instance, if you want to boldface some text, you can simply preface the text with b and suffix the text to be bolded with b0 . The full dictionary of RTF commands and the complete RTF specification can be found on the Microsoft Developer Network at http //msdn.microsoft.com. Several SAS users group papers provide the most common RTF commands that you might want.

Network with professionals in the industry. Friends or contacts in the industry can serve as valuable job references. Attending local, regional, and national SAS users group meetings is an excellent way to network as well. SAS keeps a list of users groups at http //support.sas.com/usergroups/.
