+@cmd{OUTPUT} changes the appearance of the tables in which results are
+printed. In particular, it can be used to set the format and precision
+to which results are displayed.
+
+After running this command, the default table appearance parameters
+will have been modified and each new output table generated uses
+the new parameters.
+
+Following @code{/TABLECELLS SELECT =} a list of cell classes must
+appear, enclosed in square brackets. This list determines the classes
+of values should be selected for modification. Each class can be:
+
+@table @asis
+@item RESIDUAL
+Residual values. Default: @t{F40.2}.
+
+@item CORRELATION
+Correlations. Default: @t{F40.3}.
+
+@item PERCENT
+Percentages. Default: @t{PCT40.1}.
+
+@item SIGNIFICANCE
+Significance of tests (p-values). Default: @t{F40.3}.
+
+@item COUNT
+Counts or sums of weights. For a weighted data set, the default is
+the weight variable's print format. For an unweighted data set, the
+default is F40.0.
+@end table
+
+For most other numeric values that appear in tables, @code{SET FORMAT}
+may be used to specify the format (@pxref{SET FORMAT}).
+
+The value of @var{fmt_spec} must be a valid output format (@pxref{Input and Output Formats}).
+Note that not all possible formats are meaningful for all classes.
