HI:
If you don't mind me asking this question about latex:
Based on Duncan's comment:
"The print method for "latex" objects tries to run latex and then display the
resulting .dvi file. (Or maybe it runs pdflatex and displays the .pdf file)."
Where in MikTex can I change to pdflatex? everytime I use latex it displays the
dvi file which is a problem because tables that I want to see landscaped don't
work. Thanks
Run pdflatex rather than latex?

Hi Ista,
Thanks
for the reply!
You actually misunderstood me. I never
objected the "tmp<- latex(x)" method (in fact, that's what I'm doing now in
my .Rnw file). As I stated in my original post, I'm simply curious about
what causes the error window and wanted to get to the bottom of
it.
latex(x) returns an object of class "latex". When
you don't assign it, it prints. The print method for "latex" objects tries
to run latex and then display the resulting .dvi file. (Or maybe it runs
pdflatex and displays the .pdf file).
If you can't run latex, you can't
print those objects. That's why you're getting an error.
