Hi Bastian,
Thank you for your swift reply.
Regarding the Variable Labels / names... thank you.. I didn't know it was available under right click =)
Will post a report on the merge files....
Now the "office" question.
My background is in the commercial world, and if we do an operation say 50 times a day, we can't manually edit the output in Excel for every export to make it look descent when the alternative software does this automatically. Please, view the attached movie. From a commercial standpoint, we'd loose say 2-3 minutes at any given time, and multiplying that by say 50, it is not an option.
http://screencast.com/t/tb0tpM19sAt any given time, any output that is produced from PSPP will most likely end in Excel or equivalent one way or the other. To make it difficult for users to get there is really not best practice and it will effectively hinder any commercial adoption at all. I believe this is the reason why R is so widely used in the academic world but not in the commercial world because there is output constraints....
