Bold Button

Sam Ballard
Does the bold button work?
I added the bold button to my syntax editor toolbar. I bolded a word in a
file and the word is clearly bolded. Then I save the file, close it, and
re-open the file and the bolding is gone. What am I missing?

The same thing happens for the italic and underline button.

Hi Sam,

The syntax editor can only have one font style at a time. If you
change the size, for instance, all the sizes will change. If you copy
and paste from another source it will sometimes show two styles
temporily, but if you make a change it changes everything. I think you
have managed to find another way to make it look like you can bold
something, but you can only bold everything.

When I want to empahsize something (let's say for teaching purposes).
I copy it into word.

If anyone has found a better way - please share it!

I hope that helps.

Addendum:

Syntax files are plain text files. They contain no font information. You can control the display font used in the syntax window, but that is an attribute of the syntax window, not an attribute of the saved syntax file.

In reply to this post by Sam Ballard
An SPSS syntax file is just a plain text file with an .sps extension
(enabling you, for example, to edit a syntax file in another text
editor). Consequently any changes you may make to the way the text
appears (font, bold, etc.) are temporary. While you can specify a
default font for the syntax editor, this information is associated with
the SPSS application and applies to all syntax files, not any particular
syntax file.

V17 enhancement suggestion

Gary Oliver
In reply to this post by Oliver, Richard
Many people in this forum have pointed out the deficiencies of the
syntax editor.

Perhaps the SPSS staff on the list could take on board the many requests
and provide us with a fully featured syntax editor. By fully featured I
mean with the kinds of features that programmer's editors offer for
syntax checking

Mean-Centering Does Not Alleviate Collinearity Problems in Moderated Multiple Regression Models (Echambadi & Hess, 2007)

Judith Saebel
In reply to this post by Keith McCormick
Dear all,

Does anyone have any thoughts on the article by Echambadi and Hess
(2007), "Mean-Centering Does Not Alleviate Collinearity Problems in
Moderated Multiple Regression Models", downloadable at
http://mktsci.journal.informs.org/cgi/reprint/26/3/438.

Many thanks,

Judith Saebel

I didn't read it, even though it said "You may access this article
(from the computer you are currently using) for 2 days for US$18.00."

But the question has been discussed on this list. Generally speaking,
mean-centering does nothing to reduce collinearity in any model
that's linear in all the parameters. It can be profoundly helpful in
reducing collinearity in models that include second-order terms --
squares or products of variables.
