In tables where cell contents may be frequencies or percentages, then the "%" is invaluable. (The output of Stata's own -tabulate- for instance). I, for one, would welcome some way of getting percentage signs in Stata output. I use Pages, the iWork word processor, which allows you to make a table from Stata output and then format the decimal numbers as percentages. Obviously only works on a Mac, but a real time saving trick if you have one.
