WISCO Survey Reports are automatically created from the survey data and other information you entered. The word processing buttons let you revise the text, column width settings, page breaks, etc. for the displayed report which can be saved and printed. The next time the report is created, the original text, column width settings, page breaks, etc will be used. The 'Word Processing Summary' section after the word processing toolbar buttons summarizes the locations to permanently change the default information and settings.

A default file name based on the survey question number(s) is suggested, but you can change the file name to whatever you want. Rich Text Format (RTF) is a type of text file designed to preserve formatting, and be compatible with most word processors, including Microsoft Word and WordPerfect.
