Maximize Your Staff's Skills and Time

Make the creation of paper-based survey research surveys easier and more efficient than you ever dreamed possible, with mrPaper.

mrPaper enables you to develop different formats for different types of questions and different types of surveys, and then centrally store these formats. This ensures that all paper questionnaires are formatted to the same standards. When survey authors need to create a paper questionnaire, they simply open the questionnaire data document, select the most appropriate layout, and mrPaper automatically formats the questionnaire-in moments.

You can create layouts that meet your own organization's style guidelines and those of your clients. mrPaper also supports the creation of multiple versions of the same survey. And it integrates with mrScan and mrTranslate, so you can automatically prepare paper surveys for scanning, and efficiently manage multilingual translations.

Because mrPaper runs within Microsoft® Word, it requires only a minimal amount of training. Your staff can use Word's full range of formatting features, and easily incorporate logos, graphics, and even "external" elements, such as respondent IDs, in your surveys. Surveys are saved as Word documents, simplifying the review and approval process.

mrPaper uses a system of Question Looks, Looks Groups, and Word templates to define paper questionnaire layouts. Question Looks provide formatting for a single item, while Look Groups are a collection of Question Looks that form a theme (such as "traditional" or "contemporary"). Using Question Looks, you can indicate the number of columns for brand lists, for example, or whether check boxes should be on the right or the left. You can include standard wording for instructions to interviewers or respondents, and incorporate logical routing in your questionnaires.

You can create surveys from within Desktop Author™, Quanquest™, In2form™, or InterviewBuilder™, for example, and easily format surveys authored in these applications. You can store data in a variety of formats or databases familiar to market researchers. As mentioned, mrPaper supports multiple versions of the same questionnaire-a helpful feature if you conduct tracking studies.

With mrPaper, you maximize the skills and time of your questionnaire authors, and make it easier to administer surveys in the field.
