You may like to take a look at Tony Brady's -reformat- package. Type -ssc
describe reformat- for more info.
A simple example :
. sysuse nlsw88
(NLSW, 1988 extract)
. xi: regress wage i.race i.collgrad
i.race _Irace_1-3 (naturally coded; _Irace_1 omitted)
i.collgrad _Icollgrad_0-1 (naturally coded; _Icollgrad_0 omitted)

There are options to vary what is displayed and how it's formatted. I think
it's a very useful and well-designed package. Those who like to use asterisks
to indicate significance levels may prefer something else.

If I create an ordinal variable which has several categories (1,2,3,4
etc) and add value labels to the values. For example, 1=group1,
2=group2 etc. , why doesn;t STATA show these value labels when I use
the variable in a regression model as a dummy/indicator variable?
So for example if I run the model:
xi:reg X1 i.var1
then STATA doesn't use the value labels in the ourput for var1. Is it
possible to show the value labels of the variable in the output?
Thanks
Raoul
