Semi-automatic table making

Both Stata and R have nice table making facilities, but aML is still lacking this. Here is how I convert aML outputs into Word tables.
  1. Estimate aML models;
  2. Use "maktab" facilities to put different models into one output;
  3. Copy and paste the results into a text file;
  4. Use Excel to read in the file;
  5. Copy and paste the Excel worksheet into Word;
  6. Edit the Word manually from there.
When I have time, I may write a python script to automate this process; but for now, this seems to work reasonably well.
