[Exit and discard view file]
Selecting this icon causes you to leave the View window and for the information you are currently viewing to be discarded. This selection is normally used unless you wish to refer to the contents of the View window, which you will not be able to easily re-create at a later date, in which case the [Preserve view file and exit] selection should be used.
[Exit and preserve the view file]
Selecting this icon causes you to leave the View window and the information you are currently viewing will be saved. The view file name is shown at the top of the View window. This name will automatically be given to the contents of the View window as it is preserved. You can choose to preserve just the contents of the View window, or all of the files associated with the information displayed at the screen.
[Change font for view]
This icon allows you to alter the font which is used for the view. Any font type, style or size, which is accessible to you, may be used.
[Copy view file to clipboard as text]
This icon is used to copy the contents of the View window, currently displayed at the screen, to the clipboard in a format suitable for pasting into a word processor or editor. For example, you may wish to define a postal survey using QPSMR and then copy and paste it to a word processor to add the finishing touches before mailing to respondents.
[Copy view file to clipboard as spreadsheet]
This icon is used to copy the contents of the View window, currently displayed at the screen, to the clipboard in a format suitable for pasting into a spreadsheet program. This icon is normally used if you are viewing tables or a data list in a Comma Separated Value file (CSV).
[Copy view file to clipboard as SPSS syntax]
Not used by QPSMR Input and QPSMR Telin.
[Edit view file (outside QPSMR)]
This toolbar icon allows you to edit the information currently displayed in the View window using another program (such as a word processor or the Windows WordPad - saving your work as a Text only file). Once you have saved your work in the other program the modified information will be displayed in the View window at the screen. Once you exit the View window, unless you select [File] [Preserve view file and Exit] your changes will be discarded.
TIP: to specify which program is used to edit in this way select [Options] [Program for Edit] from the Main window.
[Print view file]
Selecting the [Print view file] toolbar icon allows you to print information displayed in the View window. The contents of the folder in which you have chosen to store your print styles is displayed so you can choose the print style (PRS) you wish to use for printing. If you do not have a suitable print style, selecting [Cancel] will cause the "Print style" dialog box to be displayed so that you are able to create one.
