Carriage returns in table in Open Office XML file

[Friedrich Huebler]

Stata can create Open Office XML (*.docx) files. The commands below, taken from help mf__docx, create a table with observations from the current dataset. If you run the commands and open the saved document, you will see that each cell starts with a carriage return so that the table is twice as long as it needs to be. How can these carriage returns be suppressed?

mata:
dh = _docx_new()
end

sysuse auto

mata:
_docx_add_data(dh, 1, 1, (1,10), ("mpg", "price", "foreign"))
end

mata:
res = _docx_save(dh, "example.docx")
end

_docx_add_data() adds text in each cell starting with a new paragraph, hence the carriage return. We will look into if there is a way to suppress it.
