print of objects in R

Hello,

I have been watching my output as I create functions and do other things 
in r.
One thing I don't like is the [1,] type notation at the beginning of a 
line.  I have been
able to change that to a number such as 1 2 etc.   using 
as.data.frame(object).

How can I stop the printing of a line number and column heading if I 
want to?
I am thinking about publishing and writing of papers.  It is much easier 
to not have to
remove that leading line number when inserting output into papers.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
