You can open a document by selecting Open... from the File menu (or by pressing ‚åò-O).
MacSurvey will display a standard file dialog box. After selecting a document, click Open. MacSurvey opens documents for viewing and printing only. Any changes made to an open document cannot be saved or printed.
If a document is larger than 32 kilobytes it will not be displayed entirely, but all of it can be printed. You should use a word processor program to view the entire document.
MacSurvey displays each open document in a separate window. Open document windows are listed at the bottom of the Window menu. If you have more than one document open, only the top window will be active. To make another window active choose the document name from the Window menu, or click a visible part of the window. To make the application window active, choose MacSurvey from the Window menu.
To close the active document window, click the close box in the upper-left corner of the window or select Close from the File menu or press ‚åò-W. The application window cannot be closed.
A request to print the active document can be made by selecting Print... from the File menu (or by pressing ‚åò-P).
Depending on your printer, you will then be shown one or more dialog boxes. After making the appropriate selections for your equipment configuration, the entire document will be printed. You can stop the printing by holding down the ‚åò-period keys.
Since all MacSurvey documents are saved as plain text files, any word processing or desktop publishing program can open them. If a MacSurvey document is saved by another program, MacSurvey will no longer be able to display or print it.
When editing any MacSurvey documents, a monospace font similar to Monaco or Courier should be used to maintain proper alignment of numerical totals and column headings.
After opening a MacSurvey document with another program, if the text of the column headings and the numbers in the rows and columns do not line up properly, you should select all the text and apply a monospace font.
