[. . . ] Figure 7-18 Centered title in the Marital status table Your new settings will be applied the next time you run a statistical procedure. All items that you have hidden will still be created, but they will not be visible in the contents pane. Centered items can be identified by the small symbol to the left of the item. Displaying Variable and Value Labels In most cases, displaying the labels for variables and values is more effective than displaying the variable name or the actual data value. There may be cases, however, when you want to display both the names and the labels. 115 Working with Output E From the menus choose: Edit Options. . . Figure 7-19 Output Labels options You can specify different settings for the outline and contents panes. For example, to show labels in the outline and variable names and data values in the contents: E In the Pivot Table Labeling group, select Names from the Variables in Labels drop-down list to show variable names instead of labels. 116 Chapter 7 E Then, select Values from the Variable Values in Labels drop-down list to show data values instead of labels. Figure 7-20 Pivot Table Labeling settings 117 Working with Output The new settings are applied the next time you run a statistical procedure. Figure 7-21 Variable names and values displayed Using Results in Other Applications Your results can be used in many applications. For example, you may want to include a chart or graph in a presentation or report. Applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint or Word can display your results as plain text, rich text, or as a metafile, which is a graphical representation of the output. The following examples are specific to Microsoft Word, but they may work similarly in other word processing applications. Pasting Results as Word Tables You can paste pivot tables into Word as native Word tables. Because the table is pasted in the Word table format, you can edit it in Word just like any other table. E Click the Marital status table in the Viewer. 118 Chapter 7 E From the menus choose: Edit Copy E Open your word processing application. Figure 7-22 Paste Special dialog box E Click OK to paste your results into the current document. 119 Working with Output Figure 7-23 Pivot table displayed in Word The table is now displayed in your document. You can apply custom formatting, edit the data, and resize the table to fit your needs. Pasting Results as Metafiles Pasting your results as metafiles maintains the original look of the output, but the pasted output becomes a vector graphic image in the target document. E Click the Marital status table in the Viewer. E From the menus choose: Edit Copy E Open your word processing application. E From the word processor's menus choose: Edit Paste Special. . . 120 Chapter 7 E Select Picture in the Paste Special dialog box. (In some applications, the choice may be "Metafile" instead of "Picture. ") Figure 7-24 Paste Special dialog box E Click OK to paste your results into the current document. Figure 7-25 Metafile displayed in Word 121 Working with Output The metafile is now embedded in your document. Information in hidden categories or layers is not included in the metafile. Pasting Results as Text Pivot tables can be copied to other applications as plain text. Formatting styles are not retained in this method, but you gain the ability to edit the table data after you paste it into the target application. E Click the Marital status table in the Viewer. E From the menus choose: Edit Copy E Open your word processing application. Figure 7-26 Paste Special dialog box E Click OK to paste your results into the current document. 122 Chapter 7 Figure 7-27 Pivot table displayed in Word Each column of the table is separated by tabs. You can change the column widths by adjusting the tab stops in your word processing application. Exporting Results to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel Files SPSS allows you to export results to a single Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file. In the Viewer's outline pane, you can select specific items that you want to export. [. . . ] (If you have only one factor, you can use the One-Way ANOVA procedure on the Compare Means submenu. ) Univariate Analysis of Variance The GLM Univariate procedure can perform an analysis of variance for factorial designs. A simple factorial design can be used to test whether a person's household income and job satisfaction affect the number of years with the current employer. 234 Chapter 12 E From the menus choose: Analyze General Linear Model Univariate. . . This opens the Univariate dialog box. Figure 12-8 Univariate dialog box E Select Years with current employer [employ] and move it to the Dependent Variable list. E Select Income category in thousands [inccat] and Job satisfaction [jobsat], and move them to the Fixed Factor(s) list. E Click OK to run the procedure. In the Tests of Between-Subjects Effects table, you can see that the effects of income and job satisfaction are definitely significant and that the observed significance level of the interaction of income and job satisfaction is 0. 000. For further interpretation, consult a statistics or data analysis textbook. 235 Additional Statistical Procedures Correlating Variables The Correlate submenu on the Analyze menu provides measures of association for two or more numeric variables.
