Graham,
thanks for your reply. I have to admit that I was first sceptical
about Sweave, too. But it really works fine.
Considerung your problem -- if it isn't solved yet --, have you tried
to put the R verbatim text into a minipage? You would do Insert -->
Box (Minipage) and paste your code there. Might be worth a shot.
Best,
Christian

Christian,
Thanks for the reply.
At the moment I don't really have any method of working with Lyx and
R.
It just so happens that I have a half written document that I want to
move to Lyx.
I have briefly looked at Sweave in the past and have completely failed
to grasp the concept, so left it as something to come back to later,
which I intend doing
The reason for saying I wasn't interested in Sweave at the moment was
because the document I am working with and all the R code is already
in
Word.
I shall have a look at the links you have sent and see if it makes
more
sense to me than it did before.
