When you are saving Looks and subLooks for categorical, grid, or numeric grid questions, you can set additional options by clicking Advanced in the Save Look and Save Compound Look wizards. Advanced options set the category distribution and category replication.

Available only for categorical Looks that have a multiple column category list. Defines the way categories are distributed between the columns. Choose one of the following:

The default value is set on the Save Look tab in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper Options dialog.

Available only for categorical, grid, and numeric grid Looks and subLooks. Defines which category rows are replicated when you apply the Look to a question that has more rows in its category list than are defined in the Look. This means that you can use the same Looks for questions with category lists of different lengths.

The default value is set on the Save Look tab in the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper Options dialog.

Suppose you want only the first category to have a line above it and you want the second category and each subsequent alternate one to have a gray background. You can achieve this by creating a Look with three categories. Format the second category with a gray background, and the first and third categories with a white background. Use the table border feature to display a line above the first category. When you save the Look, set the category replication--set First category row to 2 and Last category row to 3. When you apply the Look to a question that has five categories, the first category has a line above it, the second and fourth categories have a gray background, and the first, third, and fifth categories have a white background.

If you are designing Looks with several rows in the answer portion and plan to use category replication, every row in the Look must have the same number of cells in the table.

Unless you plan to create different formats for different rows, you need create only one category row in the answer portion of Looks.
