R help - Dec 2011 - Using wdTable() within R2wd package‏

Hi All,
 
I am trying to use the wdTable() function within R2wd package to send a
dataframe to MS-word. However, there is a problem with the tables that are
generated by R.  For some reason the header row of the table also contains
all the data.  You can see it by dragging the bottom border of the table
down to make the row wider. For example, the  data named 'bod' should
look
like as:
	Time	demand
1	1	8.3
2	2	10.3

However, if I use wdTable(bod), the output looks like

Time
demand

1
1
8.3

2
2
10.3

	Time	demand
1	1	8.3
2	2	10.3

It means that the first cell of the table contains all values in the
dataframe. Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Joann

Hi Joann,
I am not sure if it will help, but there is a post I wrote some time ago:
http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/05/exporting-r-output-to-ms-word-with-r2wd-an-example-session/

Please give it a look and see if that might help you figure out the problem.

Best,
Tal

Hi Tal,

Thank you very much! I ran your codes in the example session, but if you see
the output by the codes of wdTable(format(head(mtcars))) and
wdTable(head(mtcars)) in the word file,  the two tables have the same kind
of problems. If you drag the bottom line of the first row down to make the
heading row wider, some extra values appear in the first cell of heading row
which will not look nice if I have a long column name and need a wider
heading row in the table.  Do you know any ways to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Joann
