You attached file was:
(GPA, Distance, Phone, Shoesize, Year, Xoffice, Yoffice)->(Firstname(Text),
Lastname(Text)),
GPA, Distance, Phone, Shoesize, Year, Xoffice, Yoffice, Firstname(Text),
Lastname(Text)
4,10,8479100,6,4,3,4," ""Michelle"""," ""Kam"" "
2,3000,1234567,10,2,1,2," ""Hello"""," ""Goodbye"""
2.5,5,5468972,8,2,4,9," ""Hi"""," ""Bye"""
The first line indicates that you intend GPA, Distance, Phone,
Shoesize, Year, Xoffice and Yoffice are all independent variables.
These sould be dependent variables. I recommend the first line be:
(index) -> (GPA, Distance, Phone, Shoesize, Year, Xoffice, Yoffice,
Firstname(Text), Lastname(Text))
This will give you a MathType of:
(index -> (GPA, Distance, Phone, Shoesize, Year, Xoffice, Yoffice,
Firstname(Text), Lastname(Text)))
I note that, at least in the examples at the end of README.text,
that the first lines are not really legal MathType notation?
Proper notation is (x -> y), not (x) -> (y).
But in any case, by changing you first line you should get a
more managable Data object.
Good luck,
Bill
