Victoria,
The approach in
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2006-09/msg00837.html
ends with a -type- command to echo the contents of a text file to the
screen. If instead you end with something like
local excel="C:\Program Files\MSOffice\Office\Excel.exe"
winexec "`excel'" /out.txt
the file will be opened by Excel instead (see also -help shell-).
Many people seem to like -tabstat- (official Stata) combined with
-tabstatmat- (SSC) and -xml_tab- (SSC) for these kinds of tasks as
well; I could not possibly comment, as I do not use that approach.
