Stata 15: putdocx table from esttab/ eststo

[Steve Johnson]

Hi everybody,
I´d like to put a correlation table stored via eststo into a word document using putdocx but I receive the following error message:

table: invalid table specification

eststo clear
eststo: estpost correlate dv iv1 iv2
esttab est1, b(%9.2fc) p(%9.2fc)

putdocx begin    
putdocx table results = table(est1)

I also tried the following alternative

putdocx table results = etable

which leads to this error message:

Information for the estimation table not found; Please replay estimation results and try again

Any advice welcome!
Thanks a lot in advance for your support.
Steve

I do not use putdocx, but why do you need to do this when esttab can export to MS Word?

esttab est1 using mydoc.doc, b(%9.2fc) p(%9.2fc)

[Steve Johnson]

Thanks for the quick reply, Andrew!
The reason is that the output from esttab using doc is plain text. So tables cannot be easily formatted as far as I know (see example below).

[Andrew Musau]

I rarely use MS Word, so I would not know how the formatting works. However, tying it out quickly suggests that saving the esttab output as an rtf file and opening it in MS Word may be a solution

esttab est1 using mydoc.rtf, b(%9.2fc) p(%9.2fc)

Thank you, Andrew. It works.

As an alternative, you can use asdoc (from SSC) that sends a table of correlation to Word file in one click.

 ssc install asdoc  
 sysuse auto, clear
 asdoc cor

For more details, you can read this blog entry.

Thank you, Attaullah! I´m already a big fan of asdoc.
However, as far as I see, there is no way to use asdoc to export a column containing bivariate effects (stack models) into word as in the following example, is it?
Otherwise I would be more than happy to learn about this option!?

sysuse auto
eststo clear
eststo: estpost corr price weight mpg foreign
eststo: estpost corr length weight mpg foreign
esttab est1 est2, mtitles
