Exporting tab results to Word using -putdocx-?

[Linda Lin]

Hi everyone, is it possible to export the results from the -tab- command to a word document using the -putdocx- option (Stata 15)?

I'm working with a binary variable 'insured' and a list of individuals who are either insured (insured==1) or uninsured (insured==0). I would like to export the frequencies of the insured and uninsured among the 50 individuals. In order words, I would like to export the out from

tab insured

to Word using the -putdocx- option rather than copy and pasting.

Thanks in advance!

You might find some of the user-written output routines (estout outreg2 etc.) easier than putdocx.

Is it possible to use these routines for non-regression outputs? I only need the summary statistics for the existing data set.

Check out the user-written command -tab2docx- by our intern Chris Hassell. See the blog entry https://blog.stata.com/2018/06/07/export-tabulation-results-to-excel-update/ for an example.

-tab2docx-

is nice, but missing the essential sort option.
P.S. How come this wasn't rolled into Stata 17?
