[R] Tranferring R results to word prosessors

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

I started using LyX; it is very straightforward. Then, I started exporting to 
LaTeX and playing around with the LaTeX file (I found it faster than using 
LyX, and could take my file anywhere they had something that could manipulate 
text ---emacs, vim, nedit, whatever).

Googling you'll find _many_ LaTeX tutorials. Which one is best probably 
depends a lot on your preferences and learning style. 

As for books, I find "Guide to LaTeX" by Kopka & Daly (I think now in its 
fourth edition) far easier to use (to learn and for reference) than the 
series of LaTeX books by Goossens et al. and Lamport. (And I only need to 
haul around a single book, not 2 to 5). But then, again, this is surely a 
matter of personal taste.

HTH,

R.
