Hi

It would be nice if the frame and rules attributes could be applied to cells but they are documented table only and that seems to be the way it is. Using WORD I put the borders for just that cell back on, saved as an RTF, then looked at the RTF to see what was added. However, even when copying the copious amount of RTF that was generated by WORD and writing it from SAS, I couldn't get this to work.

You may be interested to know that the PROC TEMPLATE code is not necessary, you can use the following to remove all borders. This works only when you want all borders to be removed, the FAQ at

http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/topics/templateFAQ/Template_rtf.html#global

gives information about removing specific borders (but alas nothing about adding cell borders back in).

Remove all borders with

ods rtf file="C:/temp/out.rtf" ;

proc print data=a noobs style={frame=void rules=none};

run; ods rtf close;

You may get some more info about your cell border query by submitting a problem call to tech support.
