How to control the format to export discriminant analysis results to word by using asdoc ?

[Terence Tien]

Hello,

I want to export the results of a discriminant analysis by using asdoc in stata.

I want to show as follows.

1. three Three Decimal Digits.
2. compress the table to fit into a page of the word.

However, the format of the results is horrible. I use dec(3) but not working. I read the "help asdoc" in Stata, but it all about regression.

Does anyone know how to export the total results of discriminant analysis to Word with a nice format?

Thank you in advance.

The following is the sample code and asdoc code that I use.

There is no specific routine for candisc in asdoc. In such a case, asdoc applies one of its generic routine and tries to make some table from the Stata output. If you have some format in which the analysis can be reported, we can use asdocx to make a clean table from candisc command.
