How to generate a report with graphics and tables?

Hello R-Users,

I have some data sets which change on a daily bases. So far I have 
imported  these sets into R, done all my evaluations resulting in a 
couple of plots, charts and tables of numbers which I copy&pasted via 
clipboard into Powerpoint.
The procedure is always the same and I wonder, whether there is no 
easier way for doing so. Is there some type of "report generator" 
available or some HowTo on this.

Can anybody give me a hint on where to look for?

Regards,

Olaf B?rger

For many reports Sweave (part of the tools package in R) is what you want,
in conjunction with LaTeX.  For customized reports see

LaTeX is necessary to do the job right, in my opinion.

You might want to look at Sweave, which is perfect where you have
standardized output formats, based upon changing datasets.

More information is available here:

and you can search the r-help archives for additional information.

Depending on how much post-processing you do in 
Powerpoint, you might try importing the chart 
using a "link".

Have R save the chart in a file. Then go into 
Powerpoint, use the Insert Picture from File menu 
item, and in the dialog box that comes up select 
"Link to File".
