Using
an MS Word Document to Create a New Study
(Continued)
The process of creating a survey from a word-processed document consists of copying the information from the workspace area to the Variable Detail window. Special features make it easy to copy and paste information.
First, type a variable name and format. "Gender" would be a good name for the first variable (although many people prefer to use variable names like "Q1", "Q2", etc.). The format begins with the letter "A" or "N" (alpha or numeric) followed by the number of characters reserved for the variable. In this example, gender will be entered as "M" or "F" so the format is "A1".
