Hello folks, I've been on a journey trying to figure out how to manage documents that are amenable to sharing and editing, but that contain dynamic content generated by R. ?I've come to the following solution: I use Sweave to generate labeled png & pdf figures, and I "Insert & Link" those figures as "Pictures" in a Word 2010 doc. ?Thus, when data or code changes, I regenerate the figures with Sweave, open the Word doc and hit "F9", and all the figures are automatically updated. ?I can send the file around, folks can comment and edit, track changes, etc. Now, however, I'm trying to do the same for tables that I did for figures, and it seems a bit more difficult. ?I can spit out tex tables into separate files using the "split=TRUE" chunk option, and I can even make those tables into html with xtable(type="html"). ?Word, however, doesn't have the "Insert & Link" option for external text files (which makes it such that, if the external file isn't found, Word uses a copy stored in the doc). So, I think it will be better if I can somehow generate the tables as images. ?Is there any way to generate tables as images in separate files in Sweave? ?Or, is there another tree up which I should be barking? Thanks, Allie
