The Glossary Window defines both statistical
terms and terms used in SPSS. You can paste
the definition into the active window.
If you request the definition of a term that
is not in the glossary, the Glossary Window
displays a definition for the closest
alphabetic match.
You can leave the Glossary Window open while
working in SPSS.
REQUESTING DEFINITIONS
To request a definition, do either of the
following:
• Type the term into the Search Entry field.
The Glossary Window searches incrementally
(that is, it immediately displays a
definition when you begin typing, and
continually defines the term that is the
closest alphabetic match to whatever you
have typed so far).
• Use the mouse to select a term or terms from
either an input window or the Output Window.
Then click on Lookup to enter the term
into the Search Entry field. You can select
the term before you open the Glossary Window,
or while the window is open.
To search sequentially through glossary entries,
use the Previous and Next buttons.

PASTING DEFINITIONS INTO THE ACTIVE WINDOW
