Copying SPSS Output to a Word Document

If you select the entire Output and then Edit, Copy, you can paste it into Word just locate the cursor at the paste
location in the Word document and then CTRL-V. Here is an example. Notice that the syntax is included as is the
Notes table (which is not displayed in the SPSS output viewer). The Notes tables are best deleted.

If this does not work (for example, if not all of the tables and charts are copied into the Word document),
try the Export function.

In the output window, click File and select Export.


Under Objects to Export, select All visible. Under Document Type, select Word/RTF (*.doc). Browse to the
folder where you wish to deposit the exported document and then give it a name. Sometimes SPSS output is too wide
properly to fit on paper in portrait layout. To change the layout to landscape, click Change Options.



Click Page Setup for Export.



Here I have changed the Orientation to Landscape. You might also want to reduce the left and right margins to
accommodate very wide output.
You can also export the output to one of several other different types of documents, including htm and pdf. If you
export to htm each graphic will be put in a jpg file that is pulled by the htm file.
