To rephrase and generañlize the question: Is there any way for SPSS to
put regression coefficients and/or other suchlike statistical output
into spreadsheet-like files for further analysis? Not picking them
manuallyt one by one from the output window, but automatically when you
have to run a multitude of similar analyses. Also, I often find myself
needing a graph that shows the relative strength of different
(standardized) regression coefficients from one or various regression
runs: SPSS seems unable to satisfy these needs.
 
Any help would be warmly acknowledged.
