st: if you use ESTOUT or OUTREG for exporting stata outout then you should try out XML_TAB as well

["Zurab Sajaia" <zsajaia@hotmail.com>]

Dear Stata users,

We are working on a Stata program XML_TAB that saves Stata outputs directly
into Microsoft Excel file. The program is relatively flexible and produces
print-ready tables in Excel. XML_TAB allows users to apply different formats
to elements of the output table, to underline the rows of the table, and
essentially do everything Excel can do in terms of formatting from within
Stata.

We would like to offer you XML_TAB as an alpha version to test. Clearly more
work is needed to extend the program and to iron out the bugs, but even in
that stage we think XML_TAB could be very useful to anybody working with
STATA.

We would be very interested in your reactions/suggestions on that program.

Please download the program ado and help files and do file with an example
from:
