Coping and pasting tables from SPSS
Hello people, i am a student in engeneering trying to use lyx to write my master thesis.

No you don't need, as I understand you can output a text file where lines are
separated by line break and column by tabs, so if you have something that can
do advanced replacement (like regular expression, don't what is avaible with
windows 2000) you can use it to convert you tab-delimited table to a LaTeX
table.
The replacement you need to do are
- replace the tab by a wich is the character that delimit two cells in a
LaTeX tabular
- add \\ at the end of each line except for the last one
- add the following at the begining of you file
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}
- add the following at the end of your file
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Now you should have a regular LaTeX file (if I did it right, consult your
LaTeX documentation if necessary) and just need to use the LyX TeX import to
get a correct table you can copy in your document.
If you were using Linux I would have tell you to create an awk script but I
just don't know what you can use under windows 2000.
