FAQ

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 add an alias, log in to the cMail Mail Aliases page and click the "Add a new mail alias" link. You can have up to five aliases, in addition to your CNetID@uchicago.edu address. Note you can't use an alias to log in to any system.

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.
