Hi Max, It looks like most of answers were towards to the statisticians you work with (i.e. R -> Word).? For yourself, if you just worry about converting the PDF reports from your statisticians to Word, here is another link with a more comprehensive review besides the two online apps Prof. Harrell's mentioned on his webpage. http://www.freewaregenius.com/2010/03/06/how-to-convert-pdf-to-word-doc-for-free-a-comparative-test/ Also, Adobe Acrobat 9.0 can do PDF->Word, but I haven't tried it personally. ...Tao

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.
