This paper concerns using NVivo software in qualitative data analysis. Main subject refers to the data reduction accompanying the process of qualitative data analysis. Using software does not necessarily cause the uncontrolled modifications of data, thereby, the loss of relevant aspects of collected data. The latest version of CAQDAS (i.e., NVivo 8, 9) enables the possibility of coding on barely altered so¬urces. The paper presents examples of coding procedures on texts, pictures, audio-visual recordings. Additionally, the paper includes description of some techniques aiding the coding process.
