Hi Karen,
Once you've run your .Rnw file once, and (say) assigned the output of
a lm(y ~ x) to m1, you can add your summary at the beginning of
your .Rnw file and output quantities such as the intercept (to be
produced "later") using $\Sexpr{round(as.numeric(coef(m1)[1]), 3)}$
(it's a good idea to have the $$ because otherwise minus signs will
print as hyphens). This is the case that the object m1 will still be
available at the beginning of the next run. This is not perfect, b/c
if later, during a different R session, you want to run the Rnw file
through again, you'll have to remove the \Sexpr{} in your summary
until the second run. So you can keep two versions of your Rnw file, a
short one for the first run, and a longer one for the second.
