Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
I must admit it's a very bad practice, but if you put these files in a separate folder, and you know what you have been busy with, I think it's less important.

I don't use Word much but an xtable (html) seems to
import with no trouble. Thanks for reminding me that
it works well with OOo.

Greg, thank you for the nice overview, which is very helpful. Today I tested the HTML-Tool (Hmisc-library). First I had to install the HeVea translater (it´s a little bit tricky).

Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
There are several options available to you depending on your knowledge and workflow. Others have mentioned using Excel to format the table and to copy that into word, one thing along those lines that has not been mentioned yet is that if you have your data in a matrix or data frame then (on windows at least, I have not tried on other platforms) you can type: > write.table(my.data, 'clipboard', sep="\t") Then in Excel just do a paste and the data is there, this saves a couple of steps from saving as a .csv file and importing that into excel. This would probably be fine for a few tables. With a little effort on your part, odfWeave may still be an option. I have a project based on a survey with quite a few questions, but the output wanted was basically one of 3 tables and graphs based on a question or set of questions. I wrote a set of functions that found the correct columns in the data and created a matrix with the appropriate table values and used the odfTable function to do the formating (and a set of functions to do the graphs). Then I created an odf template file in OpenOffice that called the appropriate functions for each question, ran that through odfWeave, opened the result in OpenOffice and saved it as a word file to send to the clients. Another nice thing about this approach is that occasionally I get requests for the same output on a subset of the data, I just create the subset, rerun odfWeave, convert to word and I'm done (I don't let the client know that it was that easy though). I think there is something in the works to allow conversion of odf files to ms word files from a command line. You can also use the existing LaTeX tools that others have suggested, then convert from latex to HTML or RTF or another format that can be read into word. If you take this approach wich will require a few intermediate steps between R and word, then you may want to learn the make utility (there are versions of make available on windows, otherwise I don't know how I would survive trapped in an MS workplace). Make helps with automating several step processes and updating only those parts that need to be updated. If you can give some more detail on what you want to do and how you want the output to look, then we can give more specific ideas on how to get there. Hope this helps, -- Gregory (Greg) L.

You can programmatically create content directly in Word from R
including tables, lists, paragraphs, etc. via a DCOM connection
where R is the client and Word is the server. There are two packages
to do this - rcom and RDCOMClient and both allow you to work at much
higher levels of specificity than cutting and pasting HTML or CSV content.
You'd have to learn a little about the DCOM API for Word, but there
are examples.

Actually you could alternately read the HTML file into Word with
formatting preserved using
Insert > Object > Create From File
(that's in Word 2007; I think the menus are slightly different in earlier
versions) and not use the clipboard at all. That's a bit of a nuisance
due to the requirement of creating the intermediate file and having to
browse to it in Word. Thus pasting it into Excel and then Word is probably
still the fastest but this would be a viable alternative and would be superior
if you wanted to generate many tables in R at once and then later add them
to Word.

You can open an HTML file in Word as a new document and it will
be properly formatted and then you could save that document as
a Word document and insert it into your main Word document.
Alternately, you could copy and paste it from the newly created Word
document into your main Word document and that would preserve formatting.
If you just use the code I posted then if you try to paste that into Word
you get the HTML source code rather than a formatted table in Word.
Thus its really easier just to paste it into Excel and then into Word
as others have mentioned.
It might be possible to get it onto the clipboard in a correctly formatted
way using:
out <- capture.output(HTML(iris, stdout(), border = 1, append = FALSE))
writeClipboard(out, format = whatever)
for an appropriate whatever so that it retains its format when pasted into Word.
Some experimentation would be required to find an appropriate whatever.
It would also be possible to write rcom or RDCOMClient code in R which
transferred the document to Word or Excel and copied that new document
to the clipboard, all completely automatically, to ensure its in the proper
format.

Just curious (I don't use Word if I can help it -- even the simplest of
things drive me up the wall), but can you not import HTML directly in
Word? OpenOffice seems to do it quite happily with xtable output.

Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
If your final goal is a word document, then you should look at the odfWeave
package.

# Dear list,
# I am an R-beginner and
# spent the last days looking for a method to insert tables produced
# with R into a word document. I thought about SPPS: copy a table from
# an SPO-file and paste it into a word document
# (if needed do some formatting with that table).
# Annother idea was, to produce a TEX-file,
# insert it and make it a word-table.
# I found the following libraries, which seemed to be promising:
# xtable
# prettyR
# R2HTML
# Hmisc
# SciViews / svViews
###
## My example: a crosstable (made with CrossTable from lib gmodels
###
library(gmodels)
library(xtable)
library(svViews)
# Data for crosstabulation
set.seed(1)
n <- 200
sex <- sample(c("f","m"),n,T)
state <- sample(c("AL","AK","CA"),n,T)
#Create crosstab
ct <- CrossTable(state, sex, expected=TRUE, format="SPSS", digits=1)
ct #display crosstab on screen
#Trie to produce a html file
xtable(ct) #Error message: No method!
methods(xtable)
#Try to create a rich formatted table and insert it into Word
#with svViws, but only a little part of crosstab it inserted
docdir <- "r:\\r"
WordOpen(file.path(docdir, "cross.doc"))
viewfile <- view(ct, type = "summary", browse = FALSE)
WordGoto("ctview")
WordInsertFile(viewfile, TRUE) #only a little part of crosstab inserted
WordActivate(async = TRUE)
#How could I create the latex-code for the crosstable?
w <- latex(ct) #would that work?
# I could not test this, because I didn´t install Miktex yet
# (I will do this soon)
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance

You could get a border automatically by writing your table out
as HTML. Try this using the builtin data frame iris:
library(R2HTML)
HTML(iris, border = 1, file("clipboard","w"), append=FALSE)
Now paste that into Excel and from Excel into Word and you should
have a border around it.
See ?HTML.data.frame
You could alternately generate the HTML yourself giving quite a bit
of control.

An approach I used recently was to produce a text table in R and export it to Excel as a .csv file which could then be copied as is to Word. Borders and the like would still have to be formatted individually but not entries in the table (with a minor caveat below). The tables comprised results of test with p-values and confidence intervals etc for various variables. To produce the entries in the table I wrote a small function which pasted bits of output together and formatted numbers exactly using formatC. Often the function produced a number of cells at one time. One difficulty I had was Excel deciding as usual that it knew better than I did what I wanted. So when I had a cell with a p-value in brackets, that was of course a negative number for example. My solution was to prepend a ' character which make Excel treat the following characters literally. Once the table has been put in Word a simple search and replace can remove the ' characters. Overall, I was reasonably happy with the approach I took. If I have a future need I will have some ready-made functions to work from which will make life easier. I will be interested to try some of the other suggestions in this thread.

Hi, thank you very much for your comments and examples, which are very helpful! [I saw that the summary.formula (lib. Hmisc) has an option "cross", which might be useful too...] Alan, I agree with you: at the workplace we have a Windows-XP network with MS-Office, so I have to cope with this; I will test your Excel-suggestion.

[R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
If you want to get nicely formatted tables in Word and are familiar with Office tools (I know it's the Evil Empire but some of us work there), I suggest that you use Excel for formatting and then insert the table into your Word document. IMHO, Excel is much superior to Word for table formatting, e.g. modifying number of significant digits, playing around with fonts and number formats, etc. And when you have gotten the formats right you can paste in modified values of the numbers in the table without having to do the formatting again. Including the table in your Word document is easy by cut-paste or creating a live link. As a user of R under Unix I haven't looked into the facilities for writing tables to Excel under Windows but there is something there. Alternatively you can write a fixed-column or tab-delimited file and easily import to Excel. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
Here is a partial solution. It still requires some manual intervention.
# run this in R
data(infert); attach(infert)
Lines <- capture.output(CrossTable(education, induced))
ix <- grep(" | ", Lines, fixed = TRUE)
writeLines(Lines[ix], "clipboard")
Now paste the clipboard into Word, select the table in Word and use
Word's text to table command as Don had suggested. (In Excel 2007
its on Insert > Table > Text to Table.) When I tried this it automatically
figured out that | is the separator and created the table properly.
Note that this depends on the fact that the tabular portion of the output, which
is presumably what you want to transfer, has a space-bar-space
on every line and no other lines do. There are many arguments to CrossTable
and if some of them do not obey that then it will have to modified accordingly
for those argument combinations.

Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
I usually use the
write.table()
function (with tab as the delimiter) to write to
a text file, then copy/paste into Word,
then use Word's convert text to table command.
Obviously, if one needs to do this for many,
many, tables, the amount of manual manipulation
is excessive. That's when products other than
Word become better choices. (Framemaker, LaTeX
come to mind)

Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
In that case you shouldn't be using CrossTable in the first place.
Suggest you look into the functions mentioned under See Also in
?CrossTable or look at the source of CrossTable and modify it for
your purposes.

Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
Udo,
CrossTable() knows nothing about the proprietary formats of Word tables.
The output is designed for the R console, using a fixed width
(monospace) font. The cell boundaries are drawn using standard ASCII
characters.
There are no plans at present to modify the format of the output to
support third party application functionality, though I am considering a
future modification to enable LaTeX output to support Sweave functionality.
You are of course free to modify the source code for CrossTable() to fit
your own requirements, which is the advantage of using an open source
platform.
Regards,
Marc Schwartz

Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
Thank you Gabor,
but with 1. or 2. I don´t get
a table, which can be changed and formatted using the WORD table functions
(like changing column width and formatting text in rows).
The result of 1. ist an bitmap and
the result of 2. an ASCII-Table
A rich formatted (*.rtf) table/object would be better.
I tried this with the view() (see below).

Re: [R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document
Here are 2 ways:
1. Display it on the screen and hit the PrintScreen button.
Then paste that into Word and use Word's image editor
to crop it and expand or shrink it appropriately.
2. Run this in R:
capture.output(CrossTable(...whatever...), file = "clipboard")
Paste the clipboard into Word and change the font of the
pasted text to Courier or other fixed space font and change its
size too if need be.

[R] Transfer Crosstable to Word-Document (2. attempt)
# Dear list,

# Hmisc
# SciViews / svViews
