QScore is a utility program which can be used to score questionnaire or other tabulated kinds of data. Operation is very simple and involves five steps:

1.  Press the <Load Input> button to load either a comma-delimited (*.csv) text file or an Excel (*.xls) file into the top data grid.  The first row should   contain variable names (including one for the case identifiers) and the first column should contain case identifiers.

2.  In the Scoring Template Grid, enter the name for the scale on which each item is to be scored in the first data column.  Enter the weight to be given to each item in the second data column.  Use the copy and paste buttons to repeat names or weights.  Alternatively, 
load a previously saved Scoring Template by clicking on the <Load> button.

3.  Click on the <Initialize Output Grid> to prepare the grid for the new data.

4.  Press the <Compute Scale Scores> button.  Results will appear in the second data grid.

5.  To save the scored data, press the <Save Output> button.  Results can be saved in the following file formats:Excell, Comma-delimited Ascii, Formatted  Ascii Text, and as a Microsoft  Word Document contained in a table.
