Thank you both, Roger and Nick. Will check out the suggested resources.
All the best,
Souradet
I would tend to second Nick's advice about keeping tables as simple
as possible, and not having too many lines. However, if you want to
add such lines, then the answer probably involves using the
-cdadd()- and -cdadd()- options of -rtfrstyle-. How exactly to do
this is probably an RTF query, rather than a Stata query. The quick
reference for RTF that I use is Burke (2003), and Sean Burke's web
page, as recommended in the online help for -rtfutil-. However, the
definitive Microsoft specification of RTF can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=10725
I hope this helps.
Best wishes
Roger

My general tip is just don't do this! See e.g. Ehrenberg, A.S.C. 1975.
