Thanks as always to Kit Baum, a new version of the -rtfutil- package 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 of -rtfutil-.

The -rtfutil- package is described as below on my website. The new version adds a new module -rtfinsert-, which allows the user to insert a piece of RTF code into an existing RTF document open for output, either from an existing text file or from an in-stream sequence of lines in the do-file terminated with a terminator string.

I would like to thank Alan Riley, Kerry Kammire and Karen Hickson for their very helpful avice on the unpublicized -_request2(macroname)- subcommand of the -dsplay- command, which made the -rtinsert- command possible.

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 listtab command, downloadable from SSC, with the
      handle() option.
