st: How to do fast easy Tables of totals and proportions imported to excel or word

[Gasto Social Peru <gastosocial@gmail.com>]

Dear Stata users,

I need some help on the following:

I want to create tables of TOTALS and PROPORTIONS of budget expenses
with respect to different categories. I am wondering if anyone knows
of how to create and export such tables to excel or word.

The commands for  total and prop (total, prop) do not allow me to
export to excel and word. I need to produce several tables and do not
want to copy paste, all of them. Right now the only way to do so has
been by collapsing the data. But then I will need to do this 10 times
or more plus copy paste results. I wonder if there is an easy way to
do so.

See example below using price for budget:

sysuse auto
sum

* I want to get the totals of price for diferent type of categories,
in this case for foreign and trunk

. sum foreign  trunk price

    Variable |       Obs        Mean    Std. Dev.       Min        Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
     foreign |        74    .2972973    .4601885          0          1
       trunk |        74    13.75676    4.277404          5         23
       price |        74    6165.257    2949.496       3291      15906

.
. bysort   foreign   trunk: egen MONTOPRICE2 =total(price)

* Here the the variable MONTOPRICE2 is the total for price in each
categories (foreign, trunk)
.
. list foreign  trunk price MONTOPRICE2

     |  foreign   trunk    price   MONTOP~2 |

* I want to create many similar  tables like this exportable to word
or excel, in this case I am adding up in two categories but I want to
add up with more or less.

. bysort   foreign   trunk: gen n =1 if _n==1
(48 missing values generated)

. list foreign  trunk MONTOPRICE2  if n==1
