delimit don't work

[Rouyu Chen]

Hi everyone,

I want to add notes for my graph, I was wondering why stata says #d ; unknown command, and also it cannot recognise /// in twoway, here is my code, thank you so much for your help!

#d ;
local note `"`"Notes: Students rated agreement with the statement "You are more professionally ambitious than your most recent work colleagues"
on a 1-to-5 scale, where 1 is Strongly Disagree and 5 is Strongly Agree.
Whiskers show the 95% confidence interval calculated from regressions of students' answers
on an indicator for being in the public treatment using robust standard errors.
Non-single respondents are in a serious relationship, cohabiting, engaged, or married."'"' ;
local notepart1 : piece 1 110 of `note' ;
local notepart2 : piece 2 110 of `note' ;
local notepart3 : piece 3 110 of `note' ;
local notepart4 : piece 4 110 of `note' ;
#d cr

these are the kinds of errors that occur when you use something interactively that should only be used in a do file; so, are you putting these in a do file and attempting to "do" or "run" the file? or are you using these interactively?

Thank you for your reply! I am new to stata and not sure what do you mean by use something interactively that should only be used in a do file, but yes, I put these code in a do file and try to run the file.
