R2HTML is not (yet) as far along as Sweave, but depending on how much
sympathy you have for your clients, html can be a very nice solution. An
important requirement for many reports is that computer-naive clients be
able to edit and copy from the reports to an MS application, preferably
without severe font and formatting problems and without needing to
install/understand 2 type applications. See comments to this
effect in the recent R2HTML article by the package author, Eric Lecoutre in
the most recent R News (vol 3/3). As Andy noted, xtable is nice to use in
conjunction with R2HTML (just write a little xtable method like the one
following this message):
In particular, a naive user viewing the html file with Internet Explorer (I
know v. 5.5 or greater will work) will have an option, under the File menu
to "Edit with Microsoft Word for Windows". This assumes they have set MS
Word as their HTML editor within IE. It also assumes some minimal formatting
requirements for the HTML file (but you can worry about this, the client
won't have to).
I find this solution keeps everyone happy:
1. I can auto-generate text source for my documents;
2. clients without proprietary software can view the report;
3. clients with standard MS software but without a clue can easily edit and
copy.
Cheers,
Jim

Re: [R] How to generate a report with graphics and tables?
Depending on how much post-processing you do in Powerpoint, you might try importing the chart using a "link". Have R save the chart in a file. Then go into Powerpoint, use the Insert Picture from File menu item, and in the dialog box that comes up select "Link to File". -Don At 10:01 PM +0100 1/28/04, Olaf Bürger wrote: Hello R-Users, I have some data sets which change on a daily bases.

Hello R-Users,
I have some data sets which change on a daily bases. So far I have
imported these sets into R, done all my evaluations resulting in a
couple of plots, charts and tables of numbers which I copy&pasted via
clipboard into Powerpoint.
The procedure is always the same and I wonder, whether there is no
easier way for doing so. Is there some type of "report generator"
available or some HowTo on this.
Can anybody give me a hint on where to look for?
Regards,
Olaf Bürger
A third way is to use the R function ff:
Step 1: define a raw latex-report with R expressions (e.g. report.tex)
Step 2: modify some expressions in the raw report according the local
situation (data sets, etc.)
Step 3: start R and evaluate ff("report.tex")
Step 4: latex report
Step 5: repeat 2-4 for the different data sets
Here is the link to the rd file:
See:

Re: [R] How to generate a report with graphics and tables?
On Windows you could use a macro recorder/playback program to automate your session. There is a free script interpreter called autoit at: http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/ that can handle about 90 different commands. This may seem complex but you may be able to use it without much of a learning curve by using the AutoScriptWriter recorder program found in the Files section of http://groups.yahoo.com/group/autoit/ to record key and mouse actions to create the script and then, if desired, make changes to the script it produces using a text editor. You startup autoscriptwriter and then press record and perform your actions. The actions could startup R, perform various commands, start up powerpoint, do various activities, etc. Then press stop and press save to save the script. You can then edit the script as desired in a text editor. At this point the commands in the script will mostly be obvious and you might be able to edit them even without reference to the documentation. You can run the script using autoit itself. I have used it a bit but not extensively; however, if you have questions there is a yahoo group on it at the link cited above. There are also numerous shareware and commercial keystroke and macro recorders that you can find using google.
