If you work with MS Word and Excel or with Open Office -xml_tab- would be ideal for your problem. -xml_tab- saves any Stata results (including xt-class of estimations) directly to Excel/Open Office file. It can automatically place the results of multiple estimations into different sheets of the workbook. The program supports the complete set formats allowed in Excel. That includes the selection of different fonts, text justifications, selection of the cell borders, etc. Thus you can have all your tables in a print ready form in one workbook.
If you work with TeX/LaTeX the other programs, i.e., -estout- and -outreg- would be optimal for your purposes

Thanks for your feedback.

In general I'd like to send quite a bunch of different regression tables
showing different setups, for the main part (~5), and some more for the dat=
a
annex (~10).

So may goal was to do this in a somewhat efficient way (exceeding the
efficiency of using copy table with further by hand transformations in
Excel) and the results of -findit- find of overwhelmed me.

This would be a good stub for a Stata Wiki page.

I personally think estout (by Ben Jann) is the best for reformatting.
It is very flexible, but the author had been very responsive to
suggestions to also make it easy to use, and he provides Stata-
quality documentation. It is continuously developed.

Some of the commands you list suggest you not only want reformatting,
but maybe to send many results to a file. In that case, look at
parmest (by Roger Newson) and associated commands. Roger also
provides excellent documentation.

I'm afraid that my question might be along the lines of "which is your
favourite colour", but I would be happy about some short insight.

Generating output, primarily from panel regressions by -xtreg- , I
found a
heap of programs which seem to do all the same thing, like:

-outreg-  , -xml_tab- , -estout- ,-outsheet-
plus some more alternatives mentioned in -estout- helpfile.

Could anyone shed some light on weaknesses/strength of some of the
alternatives or point out which is easy to handle in my context?

Thanks.
- Tom
