Making Stata tables smaller (fit on slide) in beamer

I’ve discussed in the past how to indicate statistical significance with colour rather than stars. Another concern people have about using Beamer is that it can be hard to squish results into one slide. In my opinion, that is solved very easily with my tinytable command.

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Fascinating}
\input{myoutput}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Still fascinating, but smaller}
\tinytable{myoutput}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

  1. Thank you for this! I had tried using minipage, resizebox, footnotesize and a variety of other commands. Only yours worked and just in time for me to present my thesis work. I will be sure to return to your blog for more tips!
