Re: st: Exporting Stata output to Excel: new version of -xml_tab- is availablefrom SSC

["Zurab Sajaia" <zsajaia@hotmail.com>]

You're right Roger,

Although I have a phrase in the help " xml_tab allows output from Stata to 
be saved in XML file using Microsoft Excel's SpreadsheetML schema.", I 
should have clarified when this SpreadsheetML schema was first introduced.

To be perfectly precise, I have wrote and checked this program using Excel 
2003 (for Windows, English version).

So Statalist members' experience with any other version would be very 
helpful.
Thanks,
Zurab
