Frequently Asked Questions
How can I print more than one page per sheet of paper?
After you click 'Print' and the Print dialog box appears, you
should see a button called either 'Properties' or 'Preferences'. Click the
button, then click on the 'Layout' tab and you'll see the 'Pages per sheet'
option. (Note that the portrait/landscape option is also there. If you're
printing out multiple Powerpoint slides (which are layout-formatted) in
portrait form, they may appear in the wrong order, because the slides are
actually being printed sideways. Changing to the 'layout' print option will fix
this.)
How can I add an alias to my email account?
To do this you need to create an alias on the university's directory server.
Follow these steps:
-
Go to https://cnet.uchicago.edu/directory/ldapsearch.cgi
and click 'Login to the directory server'.
-
Enter your Cnet ID and password, then scroll down until you see the 'Secondary
email address' field.
-
Type the new address you would like to associate with your account, then scroll
down and click 'Submit Changes'.
-
The new email address should now appear in the 'Secondary email address' field.
-
Click 'Logout from the directory server'.
I keep getting memory errors in Stata. It says 'no room to add
more observations'. How can I increase the available memory?
First, to find out how much memory is currently allocated, type query
memory. The current value of 'set memory' is the amount of memory
allocated to Stata. The default is usually 10 megabytes. To increase this value
to 100 megabytes, you can do: set memory 100m. However,
allocating more memory means clearing the space that Stata is currently using,
so if you try to do it while you have a dataset open you'll get this message:
no; data in memory would be lost. So make sure you save your data
and log files, then type clear to remove the current data, and
then you can increase the memory allocation.
How can I increase the size of the scrolling Results window in
Stata so I can scroll back further to see all of my results?
To increase the scrolling length of the results window, use the command: set
scrollbufsize 32000, replacing 32000 (the default value) with any
value between 10000 and 500000.
