A possible solution is to use -listtex-, which creates TeX or LaTeX tables 
with 1 row per observation of a Stata data set, instead of 1 row per row of 
a Stata matrix. -listtex- is downloadable from SSC, and can be used with an 
-if- qualifier to output subsets.

To create data sets ready to be output using -listtex-, you can use the 
-parmest- package in the case of parameter estimates, the -xcollapse- 
package in the case of general summary statistics, and the -xcontract- 
package in the case of frequencies and percentages. All these packages are 
downloadable from SSC.

To find out more about the use of -listtex- together with other packages to 
create publication-ready output, see Newson (2003)in the latest Stata 
Journal. A pre-publication draft of this article can be downloaded from my 
website at
http://phs.kcl.ac.uk/rogernewson/
either using a browser or using the -net- command in Stata.

I hope this helps.

Roger
