Can text & tables in the output viewer be enlarged?

[Bruce Weaver]

I have a student with a visual impairment who is struggling with the output generated by SPSS.  I've discovered that we can modify the size of the text in the Output Viewer's navigation panel (on the left) by clicking on View - Outline Size, and selecting Small, Medium or Large.  But I see nothing that modifies the size of the tables, text and graphs in the main output pane.  Is there any way to do that?

Thanks,
Bruce

I will be out of town on business until Monday, September 24. I will have email access while I'm out.

If your need is urgent, please call our switchboard and someone will direct your call: [phone].

I'm in PASW 18.  There, in the menus, Edit/Options/Viewer allows you to change the title and text output font.  It isn't retroactive - it only changes output produced after you change the settings.  Edit/Options/Charts lets you change the text size on the charts.  I'm not sure what else.

Oh yes, I should have thought of Edit - Options.  I'm at home now (with no SPSS), but will investigate that tomorrow.  Thanks Martha.

The easiest way is just to set an appropriate default tableLook.  In Edit >Options > Pivot Tables.  There is one called LargeFont.

If they don't find that suitable, you can make your own with specific fonts and point sizes and color settings by editing a pivot table, making the changes, and saving it as a tableLook.

I meant to add that you can do something similar with Chart Templates by using the Chart Editor and saving a template.  You can then set that as a default in Edit >Options > Graphics.

Title and outline fonts are controlled in Edit > Options > Viewer.

I did not know that, but just found it on my Windoze machine by clicking Start, then typing Magnifier in the search box.  Thanks ViAnn.

Hi John.  Yes, we did consider exporting to Word and modifying there.  We concluded that it would be okay for a finished job, but that it would be a PITA during development of the syntax, where one is going back and forth from output to syntax quite frequently.

Cheers,
Bruce

I will try to put together a chart template for this in my spare time (seems as worthy a use for answering questions on here as any). Part of the pain is that there are alot of different items that need to be changed so "any" type of plot produced will be bigger for all the related facets.

One can make the physical plotting area bigger pretty easily, if you look at the chart template via a text editor, you will see  "!--Set the default chart size --", edit the xml below to make the physical size of the chart bigger (also this is the only way to make charts images really big, as there are limits to how big you can make the chart via post-hoc editing in the editor). But, the other elements in the chart (both graphic elements like points in scatter plots and text elements) are not enlarged. These things are all in various places throughout the chart template, so it is a bit of a pain.

Part of the problem with just editing one chart and saving the template is that SPSS has separate xml code snippets for different types of charts. So if you make the edits for scatterplots the saved template won't necessarily be applicable to a bar chart. There are more parts that have to be edited.

Hi John.  Thanks for the tip.  We've just started using v20 here, so I don't know if that will complicate matters.  I'll pass along the freedomscientific link to the student though.
