Re: [R] Tranferring R results to word prosessors
I started using LyX; it is very straightforward. Then, I started exporting to
LaTeX and playing around with the LaTeX file (I found it faster than using
LyX, and could take my file anywhere they had something that could manipulate
text ---emacs, vim, nedit, whatever).
Googling you'll find _many_ LaTeX tutorials. Which one is best probably
depends a lot on your preferences and learning style.
As for books, I find Guide to LaTeX by Kopka Daly (I think now in its
fourth edition) far easier to use (to learn and for reference) than the
series of LaTeX books by Goossens et al. and Lamport. (And I only need to
haul around a single book, not 2 to 5). But then, again, this is surely a
matter of personal taste.
HTH,
R.

This is a lot like using Word or other word processors
but it creates LaTeX. You probably won't need to
know anything about TeX for a long time unless you
are doing really weird things.

LaTeX is to Word as R is to what? SPSS?

Hi Tom: May be I didn't understand your question but, what I do to cut and paste results from say summary.lm, in a word processors without losing the nice shape of the R Console, is to choose the same type of letter in both, That works -- to some extent. But, that means that the formatting of the table is completely dependent on the number of spaces between the elements. It is essentially the same kind of formatting of tables I did on my first typewriter about 40 years ago. Any nontrivial change is troublesome, and you have to stick to fixed size fonts like Courier. Modern editors have moved far beyond that point. This is about generating a table in a text document from R type output. This type of table increases flexibility in respect to formatting. I mean, in my R Gui preferences I use Courier New size 10, then if I choose that type of letter in my word processors, I see the same in both windows. Yes.

Re: [R] Tranferring R results to word prosessors
In follow up to Harold's thought of using LaTeX, I have an approach when the use of nicely formatted tables is required in a document where LaTeX is not being used for the entire document. In other words, where you need to use Word, OO.org's Writer or similar application for the majority of the document body. This involves outputting R results to LaTeX table code in a text file, processing the file with 'latex' and 'dvips' and creating an EPS file. Of course, the LaTeX text file is fully complete with preamble, etc. One can then import the EPS file to a page in the document processor file. The most recent versions of the aforementioned applications will generate a bitmapped preview of the table content to aid in placement and review. You can then print the document to a PS printer or file for subsequent use. OO.org's Writer can also use Ghostscript to print to a PDF file using a PDF Converter in the printer selection dialog. This, importantly, is different than the Export to PDF function. The latter does not properly print embedded EPS images and prints the bitmapped preview instead. The advantage of this approach is that you don't have to mess around in the word processing program doing a 'text to table' conversion and then go through the formatting of the resultant columns, borders, etc. HTH, Marc Schwartz On Thu, 2006-02-09 at 09:47 -0500, Doran, Harold wrote: Well, I don't know if it can be used with Word or not, but you might consider Sweave for use with LaTeX.

As much as I love LaTeX, I would be cautious on recommending it for someone with a short term objective or does not really need to write equations etc. Part of the reason is the initial step of getting the different softwares required to make LaTeX work properly can be difficult. However, I think this webpage does a good job of explaining it http://www.math.aau.dk/~dethlef/Tips/introduction.html WinEdt (http://www.winedt.com/) might also be worth checking out.

Can you point me to a good beginners guide? I like Math into LaTeX, by Gratzer. For a real beginners guide, there's one called first steps in LaTeX. You might also want to look at issues of the PracTEX journal, many of which are for beginners (It's an online journal) Peter Peter L.
