Abstract: In this article, we introduce the printcase command, which outputs data from a specific observation into an easy-to-read Microsoft Word or PDF docu- ment. printcase allows analysts to focus on a single observation within a dataset and view that observation in its entirety. The output displays fields in table format, with all variables identified by their corresponding labels and all responses iden- tified by their corresponding value labels. We explain how printcase works, give examples of circumstances under which this type of table-based quasiquestionnaire would be useful, and provide code for printing single observations.
