[Landon Denkler]

I've tried importing .csv and open document as well as .txt files and
every time PSPP automatically closes.

     Hello GNU,

Hi! Pleased to meet you.

     I am an analyst at Gragg Advertising and a graduate student at the
     University of Missouri-Kansas City.  All of my work data is in Excel
form,
     but I want to use PSPP to statistically analyze the results using the
     lessons I've garnered from my coursework.  However, every time I try
to
     open an Excel document in PSPP it will only open it in the syntax
window
     instead of the graphic interface data and variable windows.  I don't
know
     how to use the syntax interface but would really like to use the
graphic
     interface to analyze this data.

This question is answered in the FAQ.  See
https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/faq.html#Spreadsheet

Direct import from Excel is not currently possible.  You must first
convert to a standard format.
You say that you are migrating to GNU/Linux, so you will probably want to
convert all your existing Excel files either to Gnumeric or to
OpenDocument format anyway.

This "notice" is both untrue, and discourteous.  When you subscribed to
