Re: Selecting portions of the output to paste into a document

[Mark Levine]

Bastian,

A great suggestion. It works with a few, but manageable, comments:

1. At least in my operating environment, the keyboard command-c doesn't work. But using the drop-down menu as you suggest, does indeed capture individual tables. 

2. Trying to capture entire processes, e.g. FACTOR, seems to easily overload the clipboard. A small factor run and a 50 variable frequencies run were too big for my clipboard. But capturing individual tables through the drop-down  menu works fine . . .

3. Almost. The formatting/spacing of the tables gets messed up. I think, however, that with lots of hitting the TAB key, it will work.

Anyone have a solution that keeps the tables looking like tables? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Bastian!!

Mark

Hi Mark.

Unable to select data in the output window, however, if you can copy tables or complete procedures and pasting into another document.

To perform this action, you must select the table, chart or procedure in the left sidebar and copy from the edit menu (also works in the keyboard shortcut), and at the time the information is in the clipboard and you can paste in Word, LO Writer and other word processor. Then you can leave the data you want editing them with the word processor you use.

Another method is to export the output to another format (eg plain text or OpenDocument format) and from that file and you select portions of data.

I hope this information helps.

Asunto: Selecting portions of the output to paste into a document

Hi folks,

Back again.

Got the data in through Libre (Thanks, Chris), have done some test runs and I am delighted. Brings back semi-fond memories of long nights running SPSS on an IBM 360. And waiting. And waiting. Fortunately now I am running PSPP 0.8.0 on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.4. 

BUT . . . 

I can't select portions of the output viewer to paste into other docs. I can't even successfully do the export option suggested in the archive. I have unsuccessfully looked for files that have been suggested as the source of the output window. Perhaps the suggestions were appropriate in a PC/Windows world . . . 

So the question is: If I have done a whole bunch of analysis and want to copy, let's say, the rotated factor loading and paste them into a doc, is there something that works on the Mac platform? Clearly highlighting the desired section and hitting Command C ain't working.

Once again: HELP!!

Once again: Thanks to the community!!

Cheers,

Mark
