Output Medium
One of the most popular aspects of UNISTAT Statistical Package is its ability to create output in Word and Excel, using the powerful automation features of these applications.
When UNISTAT is run in stand-alone mode, by default, all output is sent to a WordPad-like window, which is an integral part of UNISTAT Statistical Package. In Excel add-in mode, the output is sent to a new worksheet within Excel by default. After this, it is possible to send the same output to a number of other applications, without having to run the procedure again. The Output Medium Toolbar allows you to send the output to Word, Excel, Web Browser or to the Windows system clipboard.
It is also possible to set any one of these output media as default, in which case, the output is created directly in the new default medium.
UNISTAT does not simply send the old style line printer output to these applications. Instead, it re-formats its output fully utilising the specific formatting capabilities of each application. When the Word button is clicked, UNISTAT will format its tables directly within Word, in the form of Word tables. Likewise, when the Excel button is clicked, output tables will be formatted in the form of Excel tables directly within Excel. When the browser option is selected, UNISTAT creates an HTML file and formats the output as HTML tables.
In this way, it is possible to use Output Window as the primary preview window and send only the final results to Word (or Excel or Web Browser) for inclusion in a final report. In stand-alone mode, UNISTAT can also send its output tables to its own spreadsheet (the Data Processor) for further analysis.
Integrated Output Viewer
In stand-alone mode, by default, all output is sent to UNISTAT’s own Output Window. All text output is created in old style line printer format and is displayed with a fixed-width font. The graphic output is sent to this window in the form of an enhanced metafile object. The Output Window offers all the functionality of WordPad.
Output to Excel
Output is sent to a new worksheet in the active workbook. The user can edit the styles created by UNISTAT. The graphics are in enhanced metafile format.
Output to Word
Output is sent to the current document in Word, at the current cursor position. The text output is in the form of formatted Word tables and the graphics are in enhanced metafile format.
Output to Web Browser
Output is sent to the default Web Browser in the form of HTML tables and PNG format bitmap images. The output is valid XHTML/XML using CSS, allowing easy styling and integration into larger web sites and web applications.
