  4. To show interaction effect plots for each 2-way interaction and up to a single 3-way interaction, click the Interaction effect plots check box.
  5. To show the means plot for individual terms, in the Individual effects list box, select the individual term check boxes, and then select the Means plot check box.
  6. To show the means table for individual terms, in the Individual effects list box, select the individual term check boxes, and then select the Means check box.
