Changing the description for a category

You can choose whether to show category names or descriptions in your tables. Changes apply to all tables.

When using the descriptions, you may sometimes find that you want to change a description, for example, to make it shorter so that it fits the available space better.

Switching between category names and descriptions

► From the menu, choose:

Tools > Options

► In the Options dialog box, choose the Display tab.

► In the Display categories as drop-down, select Names or Labels.

► Choose OK to save changes and close the dialog box.

Changing a category description

► In the Variables pane, select the variable that you want to change.

► From the menu, choose

Variables > Edit Variable

This opens the Edit Variable window and displays a list of all the categories in the variable.

► Press F2, with the cursor positioned in a category description column for the category you want to change, and edit it as required.

► Choose Save and Close from the toolbar.
