Minitab 14 Forum

I am now in the process of testing Minitab R14 with different versions of CrossOver Office. So far, it seems like the installer completes but the program won't run with newer versions. I will post more information as soon as I find out more.

Minitab 14 installs and functions reasonably well under Crossover Pro 6.0.1 under Fedora Core 6. However you should install Minitab in the main bottle where you installed the core fonts, IE 6, etc.

Two main problems so far:

1) Saving a project corrupts the filename, but you can work around this by issuing the commands by hand

2) Copy/paste graph to MS Office hangs.

What commands do you use to save by hand?
[edit] I looked it up in the History...

Save  "y:\file_name.MPJ";
  Project;
  Replace.

Host OS was Ubuntu 7.10

1) Created Win98 bottle with 'Core Fonts' and 'Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools'.
2) Installed Minitab 14.1 without issue.

3) Loaded personal worksheet (a .mtw file) containing data created under Windows.
4) Saved the resulting project using the pull-down menu - the resulting filename was corrupted as described in previous posts. Fixed by renaming the file by hand using the Nautilus file manager.

5) Created graph - a probability plot - using the loaded dataset.
6) Attempted to save the graph in the following standard image formats using the menu options: .png, .jpg, .tif, .bmp - all failed with popup message: "Unable to create new file format."
7) Saved graph in default Minitab graph format (.mgf), but filename corrupt as described above. Successfully renamed file by hand and reopened it to test.

Will add more results once I've had the opportunity to do some more testing.
