This is a simple way to display information, but can result in empty space to the right of questions. This is the default layout. 2 columns wide, alternating sides: Variables are laid out in two columns with variables placed alternately in the left and right columns. 2 columns wide, one side, then the other: The first half of the variable set is laid out sequentially in the left column and the second half is laid out sequentially in the right column. Note: Variables with several possible choices defined, such as multiple choice variables, are considered a single entity in layouts. All choices are displayed as a single, contiguous unit. For additional layout options, you can also add container variables to a variable set. For example, create the following variables and orders: Table 1.
