Hello folks, I've been on a journey trying to figure out how to manage documents that are amenable to sharing and editing, but that contain dynamic content generated by R. I've come to the following solution: I use Sweave to generate labeled png & pdf figures, and I "Insert & Link" those figures as "Pictures" in a Word 2010 doc. Thus, when data or code changes, I regenerate the figures with Sweave, open the Word doc and hit "F9", and all the figures are automatically updated. I can send the file around, folks can comment and edit, track changes, etc.
Now, however, I'm trying to do the same for tables that I did for figures, and it seems a bit more difficult. I can spit out tex tables into separate files using the "split=TRUE" chunk option, and I can even make those tables into html with xtable(type="html"). Word, however, doesn't have the "Insert & Link" option for external text files (which makes it such that, if the external file isn't found, Word uses a copy stored in the doc). So, I think it will be better if I can somehow generate the tables as images. Is there any way to generate tables as images in separate files in Sweave? Or, is there another tree up which I should be barking?
