Will do! I tried earlier and wasn’t happy with the result. Next time I have a chance to experiment, I’ll share if I think it might be better. I’m certainly eager to read ideas and suggestions.

Andrew, great thinking. I didn’t think about the Insert –> Symbol option. What a nice way to include circles without the added work of creating a bunch of shapes.

Hi Shadi, I haven’t tried that yet. You get to be the first one to figure out that approach! If you experiment, please post some drafts here so that we can all see them.

That is a huge time-saver!
I like the way of visualizing statistical significance as full or empty shapes. Do you have any tips on how to also visualize the direction (sign) and magnitude of the coefficients, not just the statistical significance or p-values? Would you split them up into two or three tables? For academic journals, I think we’re stuck with the old format of numbers and asterixes all in one table; but for decision-makers and lay audiences, it might be helpful to first show a table of statistical significance (vs. not), and a second table showing the direction and magnitude of the effect of only those variables that are statistically significant. But how would you choose to visualize those signs and numbers? I’m sorry if you already covered it in a previous post that I might have missed.

Sorry, after a quick play in Word, I realised that it has the character map built in now. Just go to the “Insert” menu on the ribbon and at the far right is a section to add in Symbols. Click the drop down and select “More Symbols” to get into the full character map.
