# Results & export

Everything you compute appears as a **result card** in the large area on the left. This page covers reading,
customising, and getting those results out — especially into Word for a report or article.

## Result cards and tabs

- Each analysis produces one **result card**.
- A card can hold several **elements** — tables and plots — shown as tabs you can switch
  between.
- Results update automatically when you change a setting or an upstream data step.

## Customising plots

Plots have their own controls — typically colours, axis titles, gridlines, the title/axis
layout, and the figure size. Adjust these before exporting so the figure looks right in your
document.

## APA-style tables

Tables are formatted in **APA** style (clean rules, italicised statistics where
appropriate), so they drop into a manuscript with minimal reformatting.

## Copy everything into Word

The fastest path to a report:

1. **File ▸ Copy All Results.**
2. Switch to Word (or another rich-text editor) and **paste**.

Tables paste as real, editable tables; plots paste as embedded images. This copies *all*
result cards at once in the order they appear.

```{figure} _static/img/word-paste.png
:alt: A StatPrism result and the same result pasted into Word, side by side
:width: 100%

```

### Regular paste vs. Paste Special

- **Regular paste** (Ctrl+V) works well for most reports.
- For more precise formatting, use **Paste Special ▸ HTML Format**.

```{important}
**Remove the paragraph indent before pasting tables.** Word applies a default first-line/left
indent to body text, which distorts pasted tables (columns drift or overflow the page). Set
the indent to **0** (Home ▸ Paragraph) for the area you paste into — or select the pasted
tables and clear their indent — and they will line up correctly.
```

```{tip}
Set the language (**Settings ▸ Language**) and plot theme (**Settings ▸ Plot theme**)
**before** copying — results are rendered in the current language and theme.
```

## Export a self-contained report

**File ▸ Export Report (HTML)…** writes a single `.html` file containing every result —
tables and figures (images embedded inline). It needs no other files, so you can archive it,
email it, or open it in a browser and print to PDF. It's also a convenient supplement to a
manuscript.

## Export data to Excel

You can export the current data table to `.xlsx`, with each column header painted in its
colour tag — handy for sharing a cleaned dataset or for independent checking in another tool.

## Resolution note

Exported plots are rendered at higher resolution than they appear on screen, so pasted and
exported figures stay crisp in print.
