save the result into a word file

[Suyan Tian]

Hi, everyone:

I forget on how to save a result from R as a word document. For  
example, if I run the linear regression and want to save the result:

summary(lm(y~x)

in a word file. So I can show it later to my clients.  Any idea on  
how to do this?

Thanks a lot,


Suyan

I don't know any direct way.  ?sink perhaps and then load into Word.

You might want to have a look at R2HTML as well.

Alternatively have a look at Sweave for output in pdf or OOo formats.

Some suggestions in increasing complexity:

1. Cut-and-paste from the R console.  (Cut-and-paste has got to be the
best computer invention ever.)

2. If you want to generate the output automatically from an unattended
script, try help("cat") and help("file")

3. Try help("Sweave") for even more automated document production.  Also
package "odfWeave" and perhaps "R2HTML"

4. More Microsofty approaches are in packages c("R2PPT", "rcom") and
also "WriteXLS".

Personally, I like the first option.

Allan.

First option is probably interesting when using in Word a monospace
font for R results. For tables, you can also go via copy from R and
paste in Excel (or OpenOffice Calc), and then switch the table to the
word processor.

How about export it to a HTML and then copy to MS word.
I have packaged some code to export lm object to HTML in AJS style.
You can have a look at ASAtable
(http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=328).

One technique that I use a screen capture that you can paste into the
document.  This works nicely since it will also capture the color/size
of the fonts.  Works well for the graphics that you want to include.
If you have MS OneNote, you can use this.  There is a freeware package
(MWSnap) that I also use that works fine.  This also gives you a
resizable image that you can make fit into your Word or PowerPoint
document.
