Copying Stata graphs into Word or Excel
To paste a Stata graph into Word or Excel (or some other package), you have two options.
-
Firstly, you can simply create a graph in Stata, right-click on it and choose "Copy", and then paste it into whatever package you are using.
-
Alternatively, you can save your Stata graphs for insertion later. To do this, you should execute the following line after your graph command (e.g. histogram):
graph export filename.suffix
where "suffix" should be either wmf or emf.
If you have the CISER Research Computing System mapped to your desktop (see http://www.ciser.cornell.edu/athena/ciserrsch_sections/athena_d.shtml), you can then open Word at any time and go to:
Insert-->Picture-->From File
and select your graph file. Note that using the saving option with your graph command will not allow you to insert the graph into Word, even if you specify .emf or .wmf format.
