Some output views have no formatting and are simple displays of text information. Examples are representations of an equation and results from X-11 seasonal adjustment. If you freeze one of these views, you will create a text object.

You can also create a blank text object by selecting Object/New Object.../Text in the main EViews menu or by simply typing “text” in the command window. Text objects may be used whenever you wish to capture textual data that does not contain any formatting information.

Printing of text objects follows the same procedure and offers the same options as printing a table object; see “Printing Tables”.
