It is interesting that -outreg- continues to be the #1 downloaded 
program, even though it hasn't been updated in years and is 
apparently no longer supported by the author.  Since you are a 
newbie, I suggest you get off on the right track and try -estout- 
instead.  Most people think it is at least as good or better as 
-outreg- and the author continues to support and update it.    I 
don't know about this particular issue, but my guess is that any 
problems in -estout- are much more likely to eventually get fixed 
than any problems that exist in -outreg-.
