Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of -rtfutil- is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or -adoupdate- if you already have an old version.

The -rtfutil- package is work in progress, and is described as below on my website. The new version adds a module -rtfcumlist-, which inputs a numlist and outputs the corresponding list of cumulative sums. The numlist might be a list of table row widths (expressed in twips), and the cumulative sum list might be the corresponding list of table right boundaries (expressed in twips). A twip is 1/1440 of an inch, or 1/20 of a point, and is the unit of length usually used by RTF.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      rtfutil: Utilities for writing Rich Text Format (RTF) files

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      The rtfutil package is a suite of file handling utilities for
      producing Rich Text Format (RTF) files in Stata, possibly
      containing plots and tables.  These RTF files can then be
      opened by Microsoft Word, and possibly by alternative free
      word processors.  The plots can be included by inserting, as
      linked objects, graphics files that might be produced by the
      graph export command in Stata.  The tables can be included by
      using the listtex command, downloadable from SSC, with the
      handle() option.
