Hello,

I'm trying to use R (and Sweave) to pull some data out of a database and produce some standard reports. unfortunaltey, the people who want the reports want them in an editable format so they can add wordy bits to the automatically generate tables and graphs.

My current plan is to use R to call a standard sweave document and pass variables to tell what data to pull out of the db, then use latex2rtf to turn the tex file into rtf. However I'm stuck with latex2rtf. It's chocking on some of the latex that sweave wrote (such as {Schunk} {Soutput} {Sinput}. Has anyone used latex2rtf succesfully with sweave and is willing to share their experiences ?

Thanks

Paul.

One of the many solutions posted there is an interesting web site that converts pdf output to Word remarkably well. Our web page has the pdf and resulting .doc file for an advanced example containing complex tables containing micrographics in some of the table cells. Simpler html conversions are also worth trying.
