RE: st: Inserting Stata output in Beamer presentation

[philippe van kerm <philippe.vankerm@ceps.lu>]

Leaving aside the question of whether it is a good idea to put too much numbers on a slide, I would try "\scalebox{0.7}{your-table-input}"  (\scalebox is from the -graphicx- package). Of course you'll need to experiment with the scale.
