Summarize allows you to change the title of your output or add a caption that will
appear below the output table. You can control line wrapping in titles and captions by
typing
\n whereveryouwanttoinsertalinebreakinthetext.
You can also choose to display or suppress subheadings for totals and to include or
exclude cases with missing values for any of the variables used in any of the analyses.
Often it is desirable to denote missing cases in output with a period or an asterisk.
Enter a character, phrase, or code that you would like to have appear when a value is
missing; otherwise, no special treatment is applied to missing cases in the output.
