It depends a little bit on what sort of tables you like to produce. If you
talk about output from any sort of regression models -estout- will be your
friend. Type
. ssc install estout
and read the help-file on -estout-.
If you talk about crosstabulation or arbitrary collections of statistics, the
case is probably somewhat more complicated. A good starting point than is to
read Roger Newsons Handout from the Stata Users' Group Meeting 2004 in
London:
"From datasets to resultssets in Stata," United Kingdom Stata Users' Group
Meetings 2004 16, Stata Users Group. (http://ideas.repec.org/e/pne37.html)
He describes a general approach to produce any output you like, and offers
some very usefull ancillary-programs.
