I found that saving the diagram as a png file and then inserting the png
file in powerpoint works, and the resulting image has no border in
powerpoint, but this isn't really a solution for me, as I am trying to
find a /quick/ way to acheive this - I can already do it by cropping it
in paint.net and then copy/pasting which takes about the same
time/effort/clicks as saving it as a file first.
I'd really just like to use ctrl-c / ctrl-v but I don't understand
how/why I am getting these borders.
Thanks again

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

be great if I can Ctrl-C in SEM Builder and Ctrl-V in Powerpoint...
Not sure what you are referring to here, since if I build and
estimate a model using the SEM GUI and then use the "Copy" button,
the resulting image is not surrounded by a border. 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?
