Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -bmjcip- package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or -adoupdate- if you already have an old version.
The -bmjcip- package is described as below on my website. The new version has slightly redefined the option -esub(rtfsuper)-, which causes exponents in decoded P-values and confidence limits to be reformatted as RTF superscripts. The RTF superscripts are now enclosed inside a pair of curly brackets { and }, so the superscripting will not apply to any text that the uset appends to the decoded P-values and confidence limits.
Best wishes

TITLE
bmjcip: Format confidence intervals and P-values for medical journals
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
bmjcip reformats a list of numeric variables, containing estimates
and/or confidence limits and/or P-values, to string variables,
containing the same values formatted for presentation in medical
journals. The new string variables replace the old numeric
variables, and have the same names, variable labels, variable
characteristics, and positions in the dataset. bmjcip is usually
used in output datasets (or resultssets) produced by the parmest
package, and the reformatted string variables are usually later
output using the listtex package, for input to Microsoft Word or
other word processors. It requires the sdecode package in order to
work. The sdecode, parmest and listtex packages can all be
downloaded from SSC.
