Isn't the point of using significance stars/symbols to draw attention to those results? Maybe using very distinctive symbols (e.g., a mixture of daggers, plus, asterisk, etc...) could help without having to set different results in different weights/type faces. I've not tried to do this in -esttab- (available from SSC, which you are asked to identify), but the other option that might be just as efficient is to put together a few lines of code in your text editor to search and replace elements automatically for you (e.g., replace '&' with '& \textbf{' and replace *, **, or *** with '} [asterisks here]'). If you use distinctive enough symbols and emphasize things well in your prose, I wouldn't imagine anyone would miss the emphasis that you were trying to place on those specific results. It might not be the answer you were looking for, but it might be another way to consider solving the same difficulty.

Everything works fine but I would like to know whether there is a way to tell esttab to change the format of some coefficients. I am not thinking of size, but rather choosing bold or italic appearance. I have large tables and I would like, for instance, to highlight the most interesting coefficients automatically... Going manually through the tex file is a large loss of time... Any ideas?
