R help - Aug 2008 - Output to Latex using Memisc almost works

Hello,
I'm using memisc to output regression results to tables and latex. My
problem is that the output that Latex needs must be in between $  $ so that
it is read as formula but memisc does not output the result between $ $.
For example, latex needs: $0.05^{***}$  and memisc outputs 0.05^{***} in an
entry. 
I am new to Latex and I imagine it could also be a latex 'problem' and
not
necessarily memisc.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Eelke

I would suggest you put 
"\usepackage{dcolumn}" into the preamble of your LaTeX file. This will
automagically insert the dollars into the columns. 

memisc's mtable function works fine with that (at least in my 
experience, I use it on a regular basis as one might suspect :-)

Cheers,

Martin
