​List of Editors that my students have used and were very satisfied
Descriptive statistics 1 (Means, Median, Skewness, and Kurtosis)

Descriptive Statistics 2 (Outliers and box plots)
How to change outputs in SPSS to have APA style
permanently (video - Very Popular)
How to change your SPSS outputs to look like APA style PERMANENTLY: (I highly recommended you to watch this video. It will save you a lot of time) (video)

Yes, I italicized all titles in the top of the columns, that's because the statistical symbols are on italics, but the letters should be change to normal
FREQUENCY TABLES - for Item Analysis

Frequencies Table How to combine several frequencies into one Table-(video)

This is an example that has 5 likert scale levels. You will adjust it to your levels
SD+ D = Strongly Disagree + Disagree - or Disagreement Level
SlA= Slightly Agree
A+SA = Agree + Strongly Agree = Agreement Area

DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS (video)- variables

The column N/Number of items, has to be done separately in an excel sheet.

M /Number of Items per variable
FACTOR ANALYSIS

Eigenvalue and percent of variance are coming form the called "Total Variance Explained"

Factor Loading column comes from the "communality table" and h square is the representation of the loading in the "Rotated Component Matrix"

CORRELATIONS



Correlation Part 1. Correlation using SPSS (video)
PS. Note if Dr. Perry is the chair of your dissertation - he prefers the rsquare as a decimal points not in a percentages.
Part 2. Correlation Table formatted to APA style (video)


Special: Correlation - How to Deal with Large Tables (video- and check how to use portrait and landscape orientation in the same document- MICROSOFT WORK SECTION)

Now, How can use portrait and landscape orientation in the same document:

Use portrait and landscape orientation in the same document
  1. Select the pages or paragraphs that you want to change to portrait or landscape orientation.
Note If you select some but not all of the text on a page to change to portrait or landscape orientation, Word places the selected text on its own page, and the surrounding text on separate pages.

  1. Click Custom Margins.
  2. On the Margins tab, click Portrait or Landscape.

Note Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks (section break: A mark you insert to show the end of a section. A section break stores the section formatting elements, such as the margins, page orientation, headers and footers, and sequence of page numbers.) before and after the text that has the new page orientation. If your document is already divided into sections, you can click in a section (or select multiple sections), and then change the orientation for only the sections that you select.
