Hi Kelly,
For what you describe you really want the Custom Tables module. Since
you appear to be at a university there is a good chance that you have
it as it is a very common module. You can check by seeing if you can
access Analyze ... Tables ... Custom Tables. There is no efficient
way to build elaborate tables with Crosstabs because Crosstabs is
primarily there to run stats like Pearson Chi-Sq.
