[Stata] How to export Stata results tables to a Word file with 'putdocx'

This post covers how to export Stata results tables to a Word file with using putdocx command.

1. Preparation

For a demonstration, we will use 'auto' dataset that Stata provides .

sysuse auto.dta

2. Demonstration 1 - One table

The following set of syntax will make a Word file.

putdocx begin

*syntax for analysis
reg price mpg weight length i.foreign

putdocx table Table1=etable

*Designating the file name
putdocx save "file_1"

The file directory where the Word file is saved will be shown among the results section.

In my case, the file is saved in the 'Document' folder.

3. Demonstration 2 - Multiple tables

We can also put multiple tables in a single Word file.

For example, we will export three tables.

putdocx begin

*analysis syntax 1
reg price mpg weight length i.foreign

putdocx table Table1=etable

*analysis syntax 2
reg price mpg weight length 

putdocx table Table1=etable

*analysis syntax 3
reg price weight length

putdocx table Table1=etable

*Designating the file name
putdocx save "file_2"

Another option is to reapeat the set of syntax in Demonstration 1 with changing the analysis syntax and the file name, but this will make multiple Word files.
