Embedding asdoc tables in putdocx

[rachita vig]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to produce publication-style tables in a dynamic word document. For my case, I need 2-way tabulations (with percentages) - I came across

 asdoc

which can give me nicely formatted tables but I have not been able to figure out a way in which I can embed the table generated by

 asdoc

in a putdocx/putpdf/markdoc type document.

Has anyone ever tried/done this before?

It will be extremely helpful if someone can help me find a workaround.

Thanks,
Rachita

For those who are not yet familiar with asdoc, asdoc can be downloaded from SSC and can be used with almost all Stata commands. Here is a short blog post that shows how asdoc can be used with any Stata command http://fintechprofessor.com/2018/02/...basic-example/. You can also watch several YouTube videos that show the use of asdoc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdI6...LwodAk2oqLYhr-

* For installation of the stable version 
ssc install asdoc

* For installation of the new beta version
net install asdoc, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace
help asdoc

If you are using the SSC version of asdoc, then you should try also the beta version of asdoc that produces even better quality tabulation tables.

Concerning your question, please note that asdoc writes the output file in RTF format, while putdocx uses the open XML format. If you want to use the file created by asdoc in docx file format, then you have to manually open the asdoc output file, copy the tables and paste them inside the docx file. After that, the tables are automatically converted to docx format.
