Dear "R" list,
Our statisticians usually give us results back in a PDF format. I would like
to be able to copy and past tables from "R" output directly into a Microsoft
Word table since this will save us tons of time, be more accurate to
minimize human copying errors and help us update data in our papers more
easily.
Do people have suggestions for the best way to do this?
I am a novice to "R" but I do work with a couple of
very knowledgeable statisticians who do most of the heavy statistical
lifting for our research group.
Many thanks,
Max
Max,
I would urge you to consider using Sweave. It enables the use of R and LaTeX to
facilitate reproducible research, which seems to be your goal here.
You might want to talk to your campus neighbor Frank Harrell, who has extensive
information on the Vanderbilt Biostatistics department web site on this:
And note Max that we have an R clinic every Thursday at 2pm. LaTeX and
Sweave are frequently discussed during the clinic.

Frank also has some pointers for converting between various formats:
