Export Stata Results to Word using Tabout

[Eline Luys]

Dear Statalisters,

I wish to export the results of the tabulate command to a Word file using the tabout command. For example:

sysuse auto
tabout foreign using "TabForeign.docx"

STATA seems to have no problem generating the Word file since I can find it in my working directory. However, there is a problem when I try to open the file. I am getting the following error message over and over again: "We're sorry. We cannot open TabForeign because we found a problem with its content."

Can anyone help me on this? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Kind regards,

Eline

While someone might help you with the taboutprogram, let me show how you can export tabulation results to MS Word using asdoc, which can be downloaded from SSC. The latest version of asdoc creates really good tables from the tab command. This beta version is available on my website.

net install asdoc, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace

sysuse nlsw88, clear

* One-way tabulation

asdoc tab industry, replace

* Two-way tabulation

asdoc tab industry collgrad , replace

You can read more resources related to asdoc here on my website.
