exporting stata graphs to a word document

[Luca DAscanio]

Hello everybody,

I wanted to know if there was a way, other than simply copying and pasting, to export a status chart to a word document. Are there any specific commands?

Thank you in advance for your attention

Often, using the -search- command in Stata, with your best guesses at keywords, will lead you to something helpful. This happens to be one of those situations:
-search graph export- will lead you to the -graph export- command, which allows you to save a graph in a chosen format (e.g.,wmf or png), which can be put into a Microsoft Word document using the standard Word menu commands for inserting a graphics file into the current document. For example:

graph export "c:/myfolder/myfile.png", as(png)

Also, once the graph is saved as png file you can use -putdocx image- to insert it into a Word document. See
