-reshape long- first so your variables
become categories of a single variable.

I'm still having trouble getting stata to layout descriptive 
tables the way I need them. Is there any manual that would have 
tables & instructions on how to create them? I'm having a hard 
time figuring it out from the regular stata manuals & help. 
I'm trying to get a table of means for multiple variables by 
category of variable1 and total:
           var1=A var1=2 var1=3 total
var2
var3
var4
var5
var6
var7
David Harrison's suggestion for the transpose of this table worked but 
I can't use it for the mean of more than 5 variables (so only var2 to 
var6 would be in the transposed table and I need to cut and paste in 
excel to get the remaining variables into one table).
