for printing. This includes printing line numbers, a header, and print-
ing the Stata logo. In addition, you can include a unique header, name,
and project (Figure 1.8).
On Windows PCs under the Edit menu are the menu items Copy,
Copy Table, Copy Table as HTML, Copy as Picture, Paste, Table
Copy Options…, Find, Find Next, and Preferences. On a Macintosh
under the Edit menu are commands for Cut, Copy, and Paste, as well
as Undo and Redo. Undo and Redo are not available with Windows
and Unix computers. Data or text can be copied from any window
in one of several different formats. For example, the Copy command
just copies as text and it is pasted into another program exactly as
is. If the text is copied with Copy Table (and it is in a table format)
when it is pasted into another program, it will have tabs between the
columns rather than spaces. This is particularly useful when moving
information into, say, a word processor or spreadsheet program for
final presentation. This makes formatting the final table much easier.
You also can copy the information as an HTML table with the Copy
Table as HTML command. This is useful if the information is going
to be presented on a Web page. In order to use the Copy as Picture
menu item, you have to select Include a bitmap image in addition to
a PDF image in the General Preferences on a Macintosh. This allows
selected items to be moved to other programs as bitmapped files. This
is not available on a Unix computer.
