Re: st: Copying diagrams from SEM Builder

[W Robert Long <W.R.Long@leeds.ac.uk>]

Hi Phil

In SEM builder, if I choose Edit-Copy, or just Ctrl-C, and then go to 
Powerpoint and do Ctrl V then the resulting figure is enclosed in a box. 
The only way I have found to avoid this is to paste it into a graphic 
program such as paint.net , remove the border by hand, and copy/paste 
that into powerpoint.

I am not saving the diagram to a file - just using copy/paste

Hope I'm explaining myself.

Thanks
RL

I need to copy them into Powerpoint and at the moment, the only way I can get rid of the box is to first copy it into a graphics program, resize and remove the box, and then copy/paste into Powerpoint. This is becoming very tedious. It would be great if I can Ctrl-C in SEM Builder and Ctrl-V in Powerpoint...

Note that you can save the image from within Stata in a variety of formats (e.g., ps, eps, pdf, etc.), all of which can be easily used in PowerPoint.  As with "Copy", the resulting files do not have a border for me.  Maybe that would work for you?
