I am trying to find our how to transfer data from EXCEL (from Microsoft
2007 office package) to PSPP (I think the version is No. 3but the program
also references psppire.exe 0.7.10-g330012)
There are several ways, but I think the easiest is to "Save As" your excel
spreadsheet
into CSV format. Then in PSPPIRE, use File|Import Data to read the .csv file.
If you use Gnumeric, LibreOffice or Openoffice instead of Excel for your
spreadsheets, then the intermediate .csv step will not be necessary.
I am trying to learn how to use the program in order to analyze data for a
proposed book project on the history of free African-Americans in
Wilmington,
North Carolina before the American Civil War. I've done a lot of
"counting"
from census records, court records, land and tax records, etc. but want to
be able to fully analyze the data.
I wish you every success in this project.

Do NOT post these threats and misinformation to this list!! I believe
somebody has asked you that on a previous occasion. African-Americans have been
emancipated. GNU works to emancipate software and the right to use and copy it.
These kind of "confidentiality" statements do not help.
Thank you.
