problems with twidth () title()

[Festus odingo]

hello stata users,

i'm a stata 13 user, whenever i run my do file on tabout command with options like twidth() title() i get an error twidth() not allowed. for instance as in the ian watson's tabout guide

tabout south race union sex using table1.tex, replace ///
c(freq col) f(0c 1) style(tex) font(bold) twidth(11) ///
title(Table 1: A Simple Example) fn(Source: nlsw88.dta)

could anyone be having a solution to this?

thanks

> c(freq col) f(0c 1) style(tex) font(bold) twidth(11) ///

option twidth() not allowed
r(198);

end of do-file

I ran into this same problem today. The solution is in Ian Watson's tabout guide:

http://tabout.net.au/downloads/tabout_user_guide.pdf

Page 5 covers installation. I believe the twidth and title options only apply to tabout version 3, which is not yet the official version. The program for version 3 can be found here:

http://tabout.net.au/downloads/main_version/tabout.txt

Copy and paste that in a .txt file. After saving, change the extension to .ado, then move to your ado folder.

Hi,

I received "program error: code follows on the same line as open brace" as I attempted to run the following code:

tabout age sex income using independent.docx, replace ///
style(docx) oneway c(col) f(1) clab(Col_%) font(bold) nlab(Sample size) ///
title(Table 1: Descriptive Statistics) open

Per suggestion above, I also downloaded the version 3 of tabout, but still didn't work.

Look forward some guidance. Thank you very much!
