R help - Jul 2010 - how to save summary(lm) and anova (lm) in format?

Hi, folks,

I would like to copy the output of summary(lm) and anova (lm) in R to my
word file. But the output will be a mess if I just copy after I call summary
and anova.

#####################
x=rnorm(10)
y=rnorm(10,mean=3)
lm=lm(y~x)
summary(lm)

Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x)
Residuals:
      Min        1Q    Median        3Q       Max
-1.278567 -0.312017  0.001938  0.297578  1.310113
Coefficients:
            Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept)   2.5221     0.2272  11.103 3.87e-06 ***
x            -0.5988     0.2731  -2.192   0.0597 .
---
Signif. codes:  0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1
Residual standard error: 0.7181 on 8 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared: 0.3753,     Adjusted R-squared: 0.2972
F-statistic: 4.807 on 1 and 8 DF,  p-value: 0.0597
####################

How can I get the exact ouput as shown in R but not as the above?


Thanks.

Yi

A mess in what way exactly?

Looks completely standard to me. (Viewed in Courier.) I suspect you  
have copied this into some device that uses proportional fonts. Try  
selecting it and changing the font to Courier or Monaco.

There are R packages that can make nice R regression tables in LaTeX
documents. I've used memisc and its good, there is also
"apsrtable"
and the old standby xtable.  Also I use my own function "outreg", but
that's just a 'not invented here' attitude.

Your problem is that you need this to go into Word, in which case I
think a reasonable strategy is to create html output in R and then in
Word you can use "paste special" HTML and it will bring in the html as
a Word table.

I recently made a presentation about this, you might scan down to the
end where I have the html example for the poor-pitiful Word users of
the world:

Look down around slide 75
