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.
