I would place the numbers and labels into the same cell and add a line
break (using the "\line" literal in RTF). Here is an example:
eststo clear
sysuse auto, clear
by foreign: eststo: reg price weight
by foreign: eststo: reg price weight mpg
esttab using test.rtf, replace nonumbers ///
mlabels("(1a)\line w/o Controls" ///
"(1b)\line with Controls" ///
"(2a)\line w/o Controls" ///
"(2b)\line with Controls" ///
) ///
mgroups("blahblahblah1" "blahblahblah2", pattern(1 0 1 0))
Unfortunately, -esttab- does not support spanning columns in RTF mode.
You'd have to hand-edit that in your word processing software.
