[Air-l] Any opinions about Opinio web survey software

[Denise N. Rall]

Thanks Karen -

I have heard they are fixing that Excel/SPSS problem
with the Likert scale or a matrix.  You know where
each subsection of the field (0-5) doesn't have a
field header that Excel can read properly. Hence the
problem moving next to SPSS.

On a short survey we fixed that by editing the text
file and then moving it into Excel, then SPSS. . . .

However the next version promises to fix that with a
q1.0, q1.1, q1.2 . . . (Likert example)

Okay, ta very much for your response.

Cheers, Denise
