2. In the e-mail program (type “L” for folder view), choose a folder that hasn’t been entered yet (ID code with no underscore at the beginning; not “INBOX” or “sent”) and that has Session 3 data in it (~38 e-mails).
3. Open first e-mail and find section with data (usually 3 lines; use [Space] and - to move down and up a page in an e-mail).
4. Copy that section by highlighting it (it copies automatically).
5. Open word processor and paste in blank document (use ctrl-V). Put pages in order as you go. (Note: p.00 or p.0 comes before p.01, which comes before p.1, which comes before p.2, etc.)
6. Copy all data from all e-mails of the participant.
7. Rename the folder. (In the folder list view, with the folder selected, type “r” and then add an underscore at the beginning of the ID code, then type [Enter].)
8. Save document as a text file with the ID code as the name.
a. In WordPerfect, do File > Save As... And in “File type” choose “ANSI (Windows) Generic Word Processor (*.txt)”
b. In Word, do File > Save As...and in “Save as type:” choose “Plain Text”, then choose “Windows (Default)”. Save to the desktop Multiple Movies Study data folder.
9. Open the text file. (In the data folder in the desktop Multiple Movies Study folder, double click on the name of the *.txt file.)
10. Close the file (but leave the Quattro Pro program open).
11. Open the text document again. Go to recent files (File>) and then choose the first file.
12. Set the cell and row delimiters.
a. When the dialog box appears, click on “Settings”.
b. Under End of Row delimiters, deselect “Return” and choose “Custom” with this character (type it): ~
c. Under Cell delimiters, deselect “Space” and choose “Custom” with this character: ^
d. Click OK
13. Save the database file (ctrl-S or File > Save As...) with the ID code as the name (as file type Quattro Pro / QPW). Make sure the full name appears, without “~1" at the end.

(e.g., go into folder from folder list, go into e-mail from e-mail list, etc.)
< or . Go up in directory structure

[Space] Page down

q Exit (follow with [Enter] key)
n From one e-mail, go to next e-mail
p From one e-mail, go to previous e-mail


You may have noticed that some of the e-mail folders (in the
e-mail program, with all the data) have "-old" at the end of their names.
The e-mails in those folders don't have the questionnaire number at the
beginning of each page number (i.e., normally in the e-mails, a page
number is in the format 1p.1, but these are just listed as, e.g., p.1).
So for those people's data, you'll need to figure out which questionnaire
each e-mail belongs to by the subject line, and you'll need to enter
e-mails in order of the sessions -- all the intro pages will need to be
entered & ordered first, then the Session 1 Premovie page, then all the
Session 1 Postmovie pages, etc.
