  • How to turn off prompt in Data Editor

    Dear Stata users,

    A quick question: how to turn off the following prompt permanently in Data Editor? It's annoying that every time when I paste something it will pop up.
    The first row on the Clipboard contains values that can be used as valid variable names.
    Do you want to treat the first row as variable names or data?

    Unlikely there's a way to turn it off, my question is, why are you copying and pasting so much in the first place? I presume the developers at StataCorp never imagined they'd need to have this as an option. But I don't know, maybe there's a way to turn it off

      repeated but unresolved question, and with reasonable answer from Martin Weiss.
