SPSS versions used
[Page last updated 10 February 2020]
IBM® SPSS® Statistics
I am currently using SPSS 24 and Word (Office 365) which can save files in genuine *.pdf format with fully functioning hyperlinks. These retain all original page formatting and are much quicker to display. They will gradually replace files in *.doc and *.docx format]
Tutorials and exercises for IBM® SPSS® Statistics 19, 21 and 22
All exercises written between June 2011 and May 2013 are for SPSS 19 or 21: from June 2013 they were written with SPSS 22 and from 2016 with SPSS 24. Some earlier ones have been updated, others are being updated as and when time permits. There are more than 700 pages of downloadable tutorials and supporting materials. The screenshots are different, but the syntax remains the same whichever version you are using.
The most up-to-date list of tutorials and exercises, regardless of version, is in the Summary guide to SPSS tutorials in the main menu. There is also a Catalogue of SPSS tutorials (Excel file with full hyperlinks) listing the complete contents of all the main menus (not always up to date unless I have time).

Tutorials and exercises for SPSS 15 and PASW 18
SPSS 15 and PASW 18 are no longer installed on my computer. However, being syntax-based, all exercises will work with previous versions. Some exercises still have screenshots from SPSS 15, some from PASW 18, but they are gradually being updated with screenshots from IBM SPSS Statistics releases 19, 21, 22 and 24. I shall keep some examples of 15 and 18 screenshots and output in separate files and insert hyperlinks in tutorials.
