On SPSS, if a user copy the output, and paste it on word or openoffice writer, it will get it formated just like on spss. But if the user paste it on notepad, or vim, the user gets only the text output. It happens because when you copy the output, SPSS gives to you an RTF text, who can mantain formatation or not, depending where it is pasted. It will be great if PSPP could do something like that, because a lot of SPSS users just copy the output table, and paste it on word without any changes. I've found and description of rtf file on "http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/RTF-Spec-1.0.txt"; and it seems not to hard do implement. I would like to try to implement it, but I need some tips of how to do that. But first of all, do you think it will be useful on PSPP? _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
