Getting started with Minitab 14
for Windows
Printing
The contents of any Minitab window can be printed. To print a window, select it by clicking
on it or selecting it from the Windows menu. An option to print that window will now be
available under the File menu. For example, to print a worksheet:
Select the appropriate data window and choose File > Print Worksheet (or CTRL+P).
Choose the options required to format the printed output and click on OK. The standard
Windows Print dialog box is displayed. Ensure that the correct printer has been selected in
the Printer Name box and click OK to print the window.
Depending on the active window, the following options will be available on the File menu:
• Print Session Window
• Print Graph
• Print Worksheet
• Print Report Window
• Print History Window
Note that the session window contains limited formatting. If required, its contents may be
copied and pasted into a Word Processor, where formatting can be applied.
Minitab does have a Report Editor, which allows formatting. Results may be copied from
the session window into the Report Editor, formatted, and then printed.
Task 6 Using the Report Editor
Activity 6.1 Scroll upwards in the session window until the results of the descriptive
statistics are displayed. Select the output and click Edit > Copy. Maximise the
Project Manager Window and double-click Report Pad. Click in the right hand
panel and select Edit > Paste. The results will appear in the report, and they
can now be edited.
