How can I use MAXDictio?

There is a lot to MAXDictio that we do not understand yet. For instance, it appears that you could use it to do some advanced coding. However, this will be for you to figure out and add to this tutorial later...

Word Frequencies (+ Autocoding)
********************************
One way MAXDictio can be used is to examine word frequencies. This can be extremely helpful if you are wanting to see what words are popping up the most in people's responses.

To use this feature...

• Click on "MAXDictio" on the menu bar
• Select "Word Frequency"
• In the window that pops up, you can sort according to frequency if you would like
• Just click on the header that you would like to sort by

Click on the image to view it larger. This is what the "Word Frequency" window will look like.

• You can use this list to read through some of the responses if you wish.
• Just right-click on the word
• Select "Search results"
• Another window will appear that contains all the instances of this word in your document.

You could also then autocode these responses if you wish (while in the "read through" screen mentioned above). Refer to the other tutorial for how to autocode.
