Re: How do I print variable and data view papers?

[John Darrington]

In fact, there is a Print button for both the syntax editor and the output 
viewer.  However, as you have observed, there is (currently) no print facility
for the data window.[1]

You have several options:

*  Use the LIST, PRINT, WRITE or DISPLAY commands, al of which can be used 
   to dump your dataset to the output viewer and print that.  (You don't
   need to be technically savvy to type "LIST." - typing "DISPLAY VARIABLES."
   is slightly more challanging, therefore it has a dropdown menu to do this
   for you.)

*  Take a screenshot and print that.

*  Do your work from the terminal interface and then print your output file.

Regarding your comments about the user manual, much of it is currently 
written in the style or a reference manual, rather than a tutorial.
However it should all be correct and comprehensible English.  If you find
any sections which are not, please report it as a bug like you would any
other.

Thanks,

J'

[1]  One of the reasons for this is that datasets typically run to thousands 
     or even millions of cases.  It would require a lot of paper!

     only problem is that there is NO PRINT BUTTON! I am not technically
     savvy enough to perform any of the command line stuff I found posted
     in the forums, and the user manual appears to have been written in
     Greek and translated into Latin then into Swahili or something...
     could someone help me figure it out? my assignment is already late and
     I have another due tomorrow. I am trying to print a variable view of
     my data set, and a data view just to demonstrate that I have entered
     the correct data under those tabs. the version of pspp i am using is:
     psppire.exe 0.7.8-g796bca. thank you!
