[R] Formatting column displays

[BR_email]

Jeff:
I cannot install the ReporteR package. Is there a work-around, or is the 
error message correct?
Thanks. Bruce

You can create a separate version of your data frame with formatted text strings, but what you usually really want is to handle column alignment as well and that really has to be addressed as part of your data output process, which you have said nothing about.

Tables in particular are well supported via LaTeX with the tables package.  The ReporteR package can output to Microsoft Word files directly with various formatting options, but it doesn't play well with the other tools.
