PROBLEM:  My SAS for Windows (6.11 and higher) output file looks like
           garbage when I move it to a Word Processor.

  REASON:  SAS uses a special ANSI character set for box borders and other
           special features in the Output Window.  Looks nice, but in
           other software it gets messy.

SOLUTION:  Change the characters used for boxes and other features as
           follows:

  OPTIONS  FORMCHAR='|----|+|---+=|-/\<>*';


NOTE that the string after FORMCHAR= needs to be enclosed in single
quotes (as shown) and needs to be exactly the characters shown in the
example, in the same order.  The '|' character is the vertical bar,
usually located on the same key as the backslash.
