Dear statalist,
I have come across two problems with -estimates table- and would
appreciate any advice.
The first one involves the varwidth and label options. Varwidth
works fine as far as widening the first column goes, but the
variable labels (produced by labels) are truncated. For example,
setting varwidth to 50 works fine, but the labels are truncated at
32 characters. I have had a look through the code to see what
might be causing this, but have not been able to find anything.
The code beneath my signature illustrates the problem.
The second problem concerns cutting and pasting the table. The copy
table option does not seem to place tab characters into the pasted
table text. it has always worked perfectly fine with other table
output (eg. tabulate, tabstat) but it does not work with -estimates
table-. I cannot think of a reason for this, but would appreciate any
insights.
Details of my setup are:
Stata 8.2, born 30 Jan 2004
Windows 2000 (SP3)
Pentium with 512 meg of ram
I'd appreciate any help.
