[R] odfWeave: Combining multiple output statements in a function

[Jan van der Laan]

Max,

Thank you for your answer. I have had another look at the examples (I 
already had before mailing the list), but could find the example you 
mention. Could you perhaps tell me which example I should have a look at?

Regards,
Jan
