Adding a New Statistica Document to a Workbook

In addition to adding current and previously saved Statistica documents to a workbook, you can also add new (blank) documents to a workbook including spreadsheets, reports, and macros. When the new document is added, you must specify where to place the item in the workbook tree (either as a sibling to or as a child to another item in the workbook) and which type of item to create.

Follow these steps to place a new (blank) Statistica document in the workbook.

Procedure

  1. Determine an appropriate location in the workbook tree and right-click another item in that location. You can always move or copy the item to a new location later (using drag-and-drop features), so the exact location is not critical.
  2. From the shortcut menu, select Insert to display the Insert Workbook Item dialog.
  3. Under Item, select Statistica Document, and under Placement, select the tree location (As first child, As last child, As next sibling, As prior sibling).
  4. Once you have made your selections, click OK to display the Document type dialog. Use this dialog to create a new document or locate a previously saved document. For this example, click the Create new option button and choose either a Spreadsheet, Report, or Macro in the Type box. Then, click OK to add the new document to your workbook.
