Problem with opening tables from output

[Jana Schue]

Hello all,

I have a problem with creating tables, respectively with opening the tables. When I create a table, for example a correlation table, my command looks like this:
asdoc pwcorr tq rdi emissions purpose_l2 dirty_l2 b2c_l2 cf_l2 growth_l2 capexi_l2 adexi_l2 sl_l2 fs_l2 om_l2, obs label star(all) fhc(\b) fhr(\b) sig dec(3) save(Correlations table for Model 1) replace

Stata then spits out the table and the following sentence: Click to Open File: Correlations table for Model 1.doc

However, when I follow this link, Safari immediately opens on my Macbook and it says "Safari cannot open this page". My question is: how do I get the table to open in Excel?

Thanks in advance!
Jana

thoughts.

1. you are saving a Word file, not an excel file.
2. make sure your system default for .doc is Word.

Thanks for the answer! How can I change my system default for .doc?
