Re: st: RE: Coloring specific cells using -estout- and latex

[Bert Jung <bjung59@gmail.com>]

Thanks very much Kieran.  I have my eye on those latex commands you
mention.  The problem is targeting individual cells (or at least
specific models/columns).  The example I cited colors all rows in the
same way, by applying the code to each coefficient, t-statistic, etc.

I am coming to think my goal might not be possible without looking
into the -estout- ado.

Cheers,
Bert
