Hello,
Using the latest snapshot on Win 7 64 bit I have found a possible bug in the GUI.
When copying and pasting RTF from the output of the Test Statistics Calculator into MS
Word 2013 you get the following
{\rtf1
{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fprq1\fcharset1 Courier New;}}
\f0\fs18
Null hypothesis: Difference of means = 0\par
\par
Sample 1:\par
n = 20, mean = 0.0170911, s.d. = 0.046042\par
standard error of mean = 0.0102953\par
95% confidence interval for mean: -0.00445719 to 0.0386395\par
\par
Sample 2:\par
n = 220, mean = 0.00851808, s.d. = 0.0877089\par
standard error of mean = 0.00591333\par
95% confidence interval for mean: -0.00313625 to 0.0201724\par
\par
Test statistic: t(238) = (0.0170911 - 0.00851808)/0.0198832 = 0.431171\par
Two-tailed p-value = 0.6667\par
(one-tailed = 0.3334)\par
}
When you do the same from a model window, the result is the properly formatted table. I am
not sure if this is a MS Word issue (Why can't the world just use LaTeX.) or gretl,
but given that copy RTF works in some cases????
Thanks,
Logan

This does not happen with LibreOffice; it would be interesting to know
what happens with other word processors, especially older versions of MS
Word. My guess is that Word 2014 fails to automatically spot the contents
of the clipboard as rtf, so it treats it as plain text. Does Word give you
the "Paste special" option, so that you can force the rtf filter when
pasting? If you do so, what happens?

Jack,
Yes that's exactly what is happening, but not all the time. For example, you can past
into Word from the Model Window after estimating ols just fine. I will see if I can find
the difference.

I've seen that before -- raw, undigested RTF on paste into MS Word
on Windows -- but I thought it had been solved in CVS and snapshots
since about a month ago. I'll take another look.

Logan, are you quite sure that's with a current snapshot? I ask
because a couple of weeks ago I fixed a bug that would account for
what you saw. And today I tried doing as you did (copied output from
the stats calculator into Word 2013, on Windows 8) and couldn't
replicate the problem, the RTF came out correctly.
If this really is a current snapshot, could you tell us _exactly_ what
you did to copy the text? There may be some subtle difference that I'm
missing. (In my case I used the copy button on the toolbar in the
output window and selected the RTF option; I also tried via Ctrl-C.)

I just checked the build date it was 2015-01-22. I so I am a few days behind. I just
updated to the latest snapshot 2015-02-11, and am no longer experiencing the problem.
Sorry about the confusion.
Logan

OK, thanks for letting us know.
