Question: the demographic codes in my Winsteps control file are gender=1, 2. I want gender = F, M to display in reports.

 

Answer: Use rectangular copy-and-paste in NotePad++ or TextPad.
1. Open the Winsteps data file in NotePad++ (freeware)
2. Rectangular cut the gender column (use alt+mouse for rectangles)
3. Paste into a new NotePad++ document
4. Global replace 1 with M, 2 with F in the new document
5. Rectangular copy the edited column
6. Paste into the correct column of the Winsteps control file: it now has M, F instead of 1,2
