Posts filed under '4. Modifying SPSS output'
We got a question from Lucinda, who wants to publish her results, but has a problem with the resolution of the output. She asked us:
“I have made some interactive line graphs that have been submitted to a scientific journal for publication. The journal editor says that the resolution of the graphs is not high enough to print. Do you know how I can increase the resolution of the graphs?”
You can export your graphs into different file formats:
1. Rightclick your chart (in the Output window)
2. Choose Eport, which gives you the following pop-up screen:

This Friday we got a question from Els, who has a problem with making her stacked bar graphs look good:
“As a trainee I am now analysing the results of a customer satisfactory investigation. Many people advised me to use SPSS, so I did.
Most of the questionnaire questions are built the same way (very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, satisfied, very satisfied).
The report will be devised in subjects (price, quality, reaction speed,etc). Each subject contains around 5 questions.
For each subject I made a horizontal graph in which all 5 questions regarding that subject are being displayed. This way I will analyze around 5 questions in each graph, as in this example.

The look and feel of your tables are a critical part of providing clear, concise, and meaningful results. For example, if your table is difficult to read, the information contained within that table may not be easily understood.
In this log we will introduce the tablelook option in SPSS.
Double-click the table.
From the menus choose: Format > Tablelook
The TableLooks dialog box lists a variety of predefined styles. Select a style from the list to preview it in the Sample window to the right.
You can use a style as is, or you can edit an existing style to better suit your needs. To use an existing style, select one and click OK.
