Specifying the -style(tab)- option should not change anything. It
is the default. -estout- produces tab separated tables (as does
-outreg-) unless an alternative column delimiter is specified
using the -delimiter()- option or the output style is changed to,
e.g., -style(tex)-.
It seems that Jun's problem was indeed caused by the legend line at
the end of the table. The line somehow confuses Word. Thus, best
just omit the -legend- option.
