Unwanted stars in outreg2 generated crosstab

[Evelyn Ersanilli]

I'm trying to make a crosstabulation with outreg2.

When I use an example I found online, everything works fine

sysuse auto, clear
egen mileage=cut(mpg), group(10)
outreg2 mileage foreign using x.doc, replace cross

When I try it on my own data, I get a bunch of stars in the output

outreg2 B1 B11 using "crosstab.doc", replace cross

Any thoughts on what is happening here?

They appear because the differences in means across the levels of your cross tabulation are significant. Try the noaster option

  
 outreg2 B1 B11 using "crosstab.doc", replace cross noaster

Thanks, that does the trick.
