MS Word counts the number of open and closed brackets {} in the rtf file
and, when they become equal it stops because it thinks that is the end of
the file.  You have opened and closed ODS RTF twice, therefore, Word ignores
the second part of the file.  I have found that I don't need to do the mod.
I simply open rtf, run all my Proc Reports (what I am using) and close rtf
when I am done.  I would think that Proc Print would work the same way but I
have not tried it.  Hope this helps.
