Using IBM SPSS statistics
How would you print a bar chart that you have just produced in SPSS?
In Output Viewer, click File, Print, select the bar chart and click OK
In Variable Viewer, open bar chart, click File, Print, OK
In Chart Editor, click Descriptive Statistics, Print, OK
In Data Editor, open Graphs dialog box, click Save, OK
In Output Viewer, click File, Print, select the bar chart and click OK
This is a straightforward way of printing your bar chart as a piece of “output” from SPSS. If you do not specify which things you want to print from the output summary box on the left of the screen, SPSS will print all of the graphs and tables in the Output Viewer. You can also locate a printer ‘icon’ like you have seen in many other computer programmes, which will open a ‘Print dialog box’. SPSS will warn you that your output has not been saved if you try to close the Output Editor. If that should happen, save your output as a file (SPSS gives you many types to choose from) and decide later on which material you want to print (and even which programme to print from).
