In my do files, I use quotation marks around the directory in which the log
and data files reside, because my folder names consist of more than one
word. I write the do file in MS Word (2003) and save it as a plain text
file. I have the following problem. Stata 7 does not recognize the
quotation marks. It puts a question mark in their place and then gives the
error message that the second word in a mutilple-word folder name is
invalid. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
For a while my solution was to use MS DOS encoding, but as of today this
does not solve the problem any more for some reason.
Thanks so much for your help,
