Yes, I agree, but in asking the question, the R bit was really incidental, to why are pasted bit maps horrible in OOo but fine in Pages and Word. I almost didn't mention R , but then thought it might be useful. Interestingly, no one has actually answered my real question >> Well, I do use Latex and Lyx for various things, but have used the >> easy to produce PDFs for this.

So do I, but mainly to allow me to print article class handouts as well as producing the presentation. This is a superb feature and allows me to update presentation and handout in the same document rather than trying to keep two separate documents in sync. I shall have a look at the other SWeave resources you suggest, and I am joined to R-sig-Mac. And , for me once again the disappointment, is the lack of a 12" ibook replacement. Thanks for all your suggestions on this.
