Re: st: Alternatives to generate output from Stata results

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

If you work with MS Word and Excel or with Open Office -xml_tab- would be 
ideal for your problem. -xml_tab- saves any Stata results (including 
xt-class of estimations) directly to Excel/Open Office file. It can 
automatically place the results of multiple estimations into different 
sheets of the workbook. The program supports the complete set formats 
allowed in Excel. That includes the selection of different fonts, text 
justifications, selection of the cell borders, etc. Thus you can have all 
your tables in a print ready form in one workbook.
If you work with TeX/LaTeX the other programs, i.e., -estout- and -outreg- 
would be optimal for your purposes
