There is already a good way to "export" tabular data. In Stata 7, the "Copy
table" option was introduced. It copies a table from the Stata output screen
onto the clipboard, intelligently removing the lines and inserting tabs
between the table cells. In essence, it becomes a table in tab-delimited
format, which is easily pasted into any spreadsheet. It doesn't work that
well with Word, but that is because Word (well, Word 97 anyway) uses a
non-standard table format and doesn't seem to recognize standard
tab-delimited format. You can't blame Stata for MS Word's shortcomings.
Regardless, if you really want to get a table from Stata into MS Word, you
can first go through a spreadsheet.
