The objective of this section is to give you the tools necessary<br />
to prepare reports, i.e. to learn how to move Stata results into<br />
other applications. The method is simple: once a graph or a<br />
table has been produced, it can be printed or incorporated into<br />
reports prepared using word processors or publishing<br />
programs. Incorporating tables from Stata can be done using<br />
the copy and paste procedure. You should save the log file as<br />
well in case you need other tables that were created. Find the<br />
table in the session3.scml file that showed the count of the<br />
“relation of head” to “age group” cross-tabulation:<br />
1. Click on File then Log then View... In the Choose<br />
File to View dialog box, click on the Browse<br />
button.<br />
2. Select session3.smcl .<br />
3. Click on Open , Then click on Ok<br />
4. Locate a table that you want to copy to your word<br />
processor. Use your mouse to block the table.<br />
5. Press Ctrl-C (copy). This key sequence copies what<br />
you have blocked.<br />
6. Now open your word processor software if it is not<br />
already open.<br />
7. Place your cursor where you want the table to appear.<br />
Press Ctrl-V (paste) to paste the table.<br />
8. In your word processor, block the text that you just<br />
pasted. Now change the font to a fixed font, e.g.<br />
Courier New or Letter Gothic. Click on Format,<br />
Font, and select the font. The size of the font may<br />
need to be adjusted depending on the margins of your<br />
paper. The default will be 12 and you may want to<br />
select 10 or 9 or 8.<br />
Below is an example of a table copied into a word processor<br />
