Billy,
I downloaded and installed the complete version of MiKTeX 2.9 and I obtained the table with the summary statistics. Thank you, I'm not always understand the help file well. Quite a lot of things are still unclear for me such as how to change the title of the table and to substitute the name of variables by their labels. However, thank you very much for you help.
Bianca
