Export data 

When you want to export the data to another program, first open the spreadsheet window, or activate it and 

bring it on top of possible other open windows.  When the spreadsheet window is on top, you can select 

Export data in order to write all data in the spreadsheet into 

one of the following file formats: Excel file, 

Lotus file, SYLK (Symbolic Link), DIF (Data Interchange Format) or Delimited text file. 

To import the Delimited text file in DBase, use the DBase command  APPEND FROM sourcefile 

DELIMITED , where sourcefile is the name of the text file. 

Export results  

When the top window is a statistical text results window, then the Export results command can be used to 

save the text of the results window as a separate text file.  This text file can be imported in any word 

processor program. 

Export graph 

When the top window is a graph window, you can select Export graph in order to save the graph in 

Windows metafile format.  This file can then be imported in a drawing or presentation program (e.g. 

PowerPoint) for further editing and enhancement.  Alternatively, you can export the graph as a Device 

Independent Bitmap (BMP), GIF format (Graphics Interchange Format), PCX (PC Paintbrush) or 

monochrome TIF format.  

To control the height and width of the saved image, select the "Options" button in the "Export graph as" 

dialog box.  

Aspect ratio 

Select the aspect ratio of the image. 

  Use window aspect ratio: the height:width ratio of the image will be the same as the height:width ratio 

of the graph window as displayed on the screen.  

  Height:width ratio 3:4: the height:width ratio of the image will be 3:4  

  Free: you can select the height and width independently.  

Size (pixels) 

Select the height and width, in pixels, of the image saved to disk. 

Export notes  

When the top window is the notes editor window, then the Export notes command can be used to save the 

notes as a separate text file.  This text file can be imported in any word processor program.
