Re: [R] Best practice for copying statistical output from RStudio to Word using Times New Roman
Thomas - Times is a proportionally spaced font, that means e.g. letters like i and m, or numbers like 1 and 0 have different widths, thus the width of text depends on its contents, not just the number of letters. You cannot align such a font on a regular grid - or rather, if you do by moving the individual letters around, the result looks horrible. There are other mono-spaced fonts that have times-like serifs, but they all look more like Courier, rather than Times itself. RStudio and other code environments use monospaced fonts for layout since it is easy to compute, and in many contexts the number of spaces are not just for positioning text but have semantic meaning. Creating tables in Times is certainly possible, and the Coefficients: part of the lm() output is indeed a right-aligned table with one header row and one data row. However, the _only_ way you can align text in a Times font for a table or similar is by using tabs - standard-, left-aligned, centred, right-aligned, or decimal tabs, whatever your layout requires. You can't emulate this by pushing things around with spaces, this can't align precisely when you are using a proportionally spaced font. This leaves you with three options: - use tabs, not spaces for tables (that's the right way); - use a monospaced font, like Courier (and fight with your publisher); - declare these parts to be figures, not text (which they are, since you are looking to control their spatial arrangement. Tabs. You need to use tabs for tables. Cheers, Boris > On Nov 23, 2025, at 03:03, Richard Sherman wrote: > > [You don't often get email from [email protected].

Re: [R] Best practice for copying statistical output from RStudio to Word using Times New Roman
Hi, I second the recommendation of using a Quarto or Rmarkdown. But sometimes, you have to put your results into a word file. Here’s my solution (see code below). This is a combination of the fmtr package for formatting and the clip command in my package CUFF which is based on the package clipr. For example, say that you want to copy the anova results testing the different diets in the chickwts package and put the contrasts in your word document. You can use the following code. Once executed you can paste the results in your word document in an already formatted table or alternatively as a raw text and then use insert>table>Convert text in table. Hope this helps. Charles-Édouard R code: library(fmtr) library(CUFF) library(emmeans) lm_diets <- lm(weight ~ feed, chickwts) anova(lm_diets) (emm_diets <- emmeans(lm_diets, pairwise ~ feed)) ### Suppose, I want to display the contrasts in word. ### 1. put it in a data.frame and format it the way you want. ### Tips: you can reuse your formats. anova.fmt <- list(estimate = "%.2f", SE = "%.1f", df = "%d", t.ratio = "%.3f", p.value = pv # format as APA formating guide ) emm_diets.df <- data.frame(emm_diets$contrasts) formats(emm_diets.df) <- anova.fmt ### 2. Then you clip to put it in your word document. clip( fdata(emm_diets.df) ) ### for output without col.names see help(clip) for details. clip( fdata(emm_diets.df), col.names = FALSE ) Charles-Édouard Giguère Centre de recherche de l' Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal 7331 rue Hochelaga, Montréal, QC, H1N 3V2 Unité 228, Pavillon Riel, Local RI-226-87 514-251-4015 #3516 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> www.centresignature.ca <http://www.centresignature.ca> Le ven. 21 nov. 2025, 10 h 58 a.m., John Kane < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> a écrit : I second Greg's recommendation.

Re: [R] Best practice for copying statistical output from RStudio to Word using Times New Roman
Here are a couple of things that I have found useful for when you need the final results in MS Word and you want nice formatting. Use a quarto or Rmarkdown document and have knitr/pandoc create the word document instead of copy/paste. The pander package does some nice formatting for many of the statistical routines that pandoc converts into tables. If you need to copy and paste, first copy and paste to MS Excel (and for tables, you can use write.table with file="clipboard" and sep="\t", then just paste in Excel).

Re: [R] Best practice for copying statistical output from RStudio to Word using Times New Roman
The root cause is that RStudio’s output console is hardwired to use monospaced fonts like Consolas, Courier, or Monaco, which preserve column alignment. Times New Roman (TTR), being proportional, breaks that alignment when pasted into Word unless you manually reformat.

Re: [R] Best practice for copying statistical output from RStudio to Word using Times New Roman
This question has already been answered, but I thought I would share
something related to it that others may find useful. What if you want
the font used in figures and graphs to be Times New Roman? I don't know
if this is considered best ppractice, but I discovered you can get all
the text on figures and plots in R's standard graphics system to be
Times New Roman by doing the following. This only works on Windows.
Use WindowsFonts()
to get a list of the windows fonts available to R on the windows system.
The serif font is likely to be Times New Roman. Take a note of its name
in the output from windowsFonts().
For example, on my system it is "TT Times New Roman".
Then include the following code before performing any plotting.
windowsFonts(tnr=windowsFont("TT Times New Roman"))
This sets up tnr as a font family name that refers to Times New Roman.
You don't have to use tnr; that's just the name I chose.
Then, before plotting, set graphics parameter family="tnr". This can
either be done with par or in the function call that opens the graphics
device. For example,
png("figure.png", width=15.5, height=17.5, units="cm", res=72)
par(family="tnr")
...
dev.off()
or
png("figure.png", width=15.5, height=17.5, units="cm", res=72,
family="tnr")
...
dev.off()
Hth,
Andrew.

I am writing an article using Microsoft Word for a journal that requires

s there a recommended workflow for preserving proper alignment while
