Printing of SPSS outputs

Thew, Barbara-2

Hi All

 

This may be a minor issue, but I have a colleague who is trying to save trees by printing 2 or 3  pages of output on 1 sheet of paper, but cannot do so as the newest version of SPSS seems to have removed this facility (or else it is very well hidden).  Does anyone have any ideas please?

 

Thanks

I never print spss output directly. It is very inefficient in its use of page space. I would recommend exporting to word or excel where you can make the pages big enough to fit the maximum amount of output so as to minimize tree death.

Barbara,

I'm curious, first of all, what is the version. Beginning with 16, I think,
spss lost the ability to change the print setup from the menu as can be done
in Word, for instance. I'm pretty sure I remember bitching, loudly but
pointlessly, of course, about this when I found out. The cause was stated be
the rewrite of the 'program' in another language that did not support
certain Windows OS features. Anyway, what I finally did, because I like high
density printing, is to change the printer setup (preferences) from the
start menu to, in my case, two pages per sheet, front and back. He may need
to do that also.
