Sorry to clog up everyone's terminal with personal mail, but I can't seem to get this message to go to Ray Wakeland in a more direct fashion. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ|||| Hi, Ray! Yes, I did use a spreadsheet...Excel, in fact. Then I copied them from Excel into the graphics program (Canvas) that I used to create the test items. They go in as object oriented graphics. In other words, each wedge is separate which makes it an easy matter to shade the one corresponding to the correct answer. I think it is interesting to note how much easier it is to interpret the pie charts than it is to scan a table of percentages for each item. There must be something to this "pattern recognition" stuff the psychologists talk about! Bob ****************************************************************************** Robert J.
