Abstract

Recent versions of Stata provide helpful tools to generate reproducible reports in Microsoft Word, HTML, and PDFs. However, for better or worse, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations are the most common form of communication in many business and academic settings. Therefore, many Stata users may benefit from tools to integrate Stata and PowerPoint. I introduce a suite of new Stata programs that facilitate creating PowerPoint presentations with Stata-generated content, particularly graphs. These programs take advantage of Stata version 17’s tighter integration with the Python programming language. Using this suite of programs, collectively called “Slide Deck,” Stata users can easily create PowerPoint presentations within Stata. Slide Deck encompasses two easy-to-use, original Stata classes: “deck” and “slide.” With a few simple commands, these classes enable users to create and save a deck of PowerPoint slides that incorporate Stata graphs and other output, as well as user-supplied text (i.e., title, bullet points, etc.), without ever leaving Stata.
