To create a text-only element, type:

The n03 statement creates a new row of text whenever the axis is used as a row axis. It is ignored if the axis is used any other way, that is, as a column or higher dimensional axis.

n03 statements are often used with no text to create extra spacing within tables. In the sample table, the blank line between the base row and the row for single respondents was created with an n03. The axis mstat now looks like this:

If you use an axis containing n03 statements to form the columns of a table, the n03s are ignored. So if this axis is used for the columns of a table, the first column is the Base and the second is for single people.

Do not use an n03 to continue long texts from an n01 statement, use an n33 statement instead. An n03 creates a completely new row in the table, which means that if the row created by the n01 consists of several lines (for example, absolutes and percentages) the text on the n03 will be printed on the line after the last line of figures for the n01. For more information on n33 continuation statements, see Text continuation statements.

A limited set of options is available with n03 elements:
