Having Stata and a word processor running at the same time allows you to copy
ouput from any Stata window (Select Copy from the Edit
menu in Stata) and paste it in the word processor (Select Paste from the
Edit menu of your word processor). You can copy and paste Stata Graphs in this fashion. What you want to copy must be in the front-most window on your desktop.
Finally, to preserve the spacing and the look of Stata tables,
select the Courier font in your word processor.
