Stata <strong>11</strong> Sample Session Section 4 – Tables and Graphs, Survey estimation<br />

Below is the same table after the font is changed to a “fixed<br />

pitch” and the font size is adjusted so that the table will fit on<br />

the page.<br />

Copying tables from the Results<br />

window<br />

relation to Age group<br />

head 0 to 10 <strong>11</strong> to 19 20 to 60 61 and ol Total<br />

head 0 6 296 41 343<br />

0.00 2.22 47.13 83.67 22.57<br />

You can also copy the in<strong>for</strong>mation from the Results window<br />

into your word processor. Stata provides three choices from<br />

the Edit menu <strong>for</strong> copying tables. Click on Edit to look at the<br />

choices.<br />

1. Copy text - Ctrl-C - copies the table as straight text.<br />

2. Copy table - Shift-Ctrl-C - copies the table and<br />

includes tabs where it thinks there should be tabs<br />

3. Copy table as HTML - Shift-Ctrl-Alt-C - copies the<br />

table into HTML <strong>for</strong>mat.<br />

You may encounter problems with the second and third<br />

options if you use these. Stata determines if there should be<br />

tabs and may not make the correct decision. You might need<br />

to increase the width of the columns in the output to make sure<br />

that tabs are included. Below is an example of the same table<br />

using the Shift-Ctrl-C<br />

wife/husband 0 25 280 5 310<br />

0.00 8.06 90.32 1.61 100.00<br />

0.00 9.26 44.59 10.20 20.39<br />

son/daugher 503 184 31 0 718<br />

70.06 25.63 4.32 0.00 100.00<br />

87.78 68.15 4.94 0.00 47.24<br />

mother/father 0 0 5 1 6<br />

0.00 0.00 83.33 16.67 100.00<br />

0.00 0.00 0.80 2.04 0.39<br />

Quite a bit of editing is required to make the above table<br />

presentable.<br />
