Example 1: use ASCII=Webpage to make a prettier table box:

i) Do a standard Winsteps analysis.

 

ii) In the Specification box, enter

ASCII=Webpage

 

iii) Use the Output Tables menu to produce a Table.

It will display as a Webpage.

The font shown here is Lucida Console

 

 

Example 2: use ASCII=No to make a prettier table box:

i) Do a standard Winsteps analysis.

ii) In the Specification box, enter

ASCII=No

iii) Use the Output Tables menu to produce a Table.

It will look wrong. The border characters are not the usual ones. They are the MS-DOS drawing characters.
