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 http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/LiveDoc.html LaTeX is necessary to do the job right, in my opinion. --- Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and Chair School of Medicine Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University
You may want to have a look at Sweave at http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/ and R-NEWS P.J.

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: http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch/Sweave/ and you can search the r-help archives for additional information. HTH, Marc Schwartz
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". -Don
