Hi all, Below is a URL for an editorial published today in our local newspaper, the Minneapolis StarTribune. It was originally published in the Washington Post a couple of days ago: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/29/AR2005082901444.html but that site requires registration. The 'Strib" site seems to be open for the moment:

Hi, I have a nicely printed table of results generated by R's > print(myresult) where myresult is a "data frame". I am trying to put this table into a powerpoint slide for presentation without re-typing and re-formating, i.e., present it as it is in the R window. This saves time when there are a lot of tables to be presented. I tried > sink("myresult.txt") > print(myresult) > sink() resulting text file looks nice, but how can I insert...

Hello R-Help, I've got a bit of an issue with WMF's. I am working on WindowsXP and outputting WMF format images. I then take the WMF format images and insert them in PowerPoint. I take the PowerPoint and convert it to PDF. The WMFs are nothing special. Just the typical x-y plot with a gray dotted grid added and a few matlines. The WMFs, when produced look great! They show all the necessary detail. Unfortunately, after placed in the PowerPoint and the PowerP...

I am generating some graphs (on GNU/Linux using R 1.5.x) for a PowerPoint presentation my boss is giving next week. He just tried cut/pasted a plot off of a PDF file I had created, but he complained that the fonts were too small and fuzzy, and that he couldn't change the background. I have been playing with png(bg=transparent), but I am not sure what appropriate he...

Please allow me an unusual question. Is there any way that R can be closely integrated with a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation? I would like to embed R calculations in Powerpoint so that I will start Powerpoint, be prompted to enter some parameters, and an R function will run and return values and graphs. Thanks, John R 2.1.1 windows 2k John Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. Chief, Biostatistics and Informatics Baltim...

I've tried several methods in OS X, and here's what works best for me. Save the R graphic as a PDF file. Open it with Apple's "Preview" application, and save it as a PNG file. The resulting .png file can be inserted into MS Word or PowerPoint, can be resized, and looks good on either OS X or Windows. There are other programs available for translating the pdf file to png (like the shareware application Graphic Converter), but I've found that Preview produces the best results.

Hi, Is it possible to dump a series of plots directly into a powerpoint presentation (as is possible in Splus)? Thank you, Thomas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello CentOS people, I'm wondering if there are command tools like antiword and docx2txt for Microsoft PowerPoint files (.ppt and .pptx). The idea is to extract text from PowerPoint files. Sorry this isn't exactly about CentOS, but I'd really like it if Yum has something. I tried xlhtml, but it hasn't been updated in a while and isn't exactly wanting to work on CentOS 5. Thank you,

Hello, I'm using MS Office 2007 Pro on Ubuntu 10.04 x64 through wine-1.3.17. After a while my laptop will just freeze (like someone took a screenshot) when I have multiple PowerPoint windows open. This problem seems to be only associated with PowerPoint and not the other Office Apps. Also, whenever I minimize the PowerPoint windows they will group together on my taskbar but little gray square boxes appear on the top left hand side of my screen. It takes a bit of clicking aro...

Yes: I have Tufte's monograph on my desk. (along with 4 statistics texts) Yes: I am not the biggest fan of PowerPoint. Yes: I am using R to generate charts, plots, trends, etc. I have to summarize them each week. When I consider how to organize this data my first thought is to generate an HTML file with links to the R-generated plots, which HTML file organizes the plots in the required order. However: * Each...

Hello, (apologies, I'm not entirely sure whether this question is about R or my limitations with PowerPoint). I've submitted a paper (which has been accepted) but the journal now require me to submit graphs that are "editable in PowerPoint". I would be grateful for suggestions as to how I should do this. The best route seems to be to copy-and-paste the figures from the windows() device...

Dear All, I am looking for the best way to use graphs from R (like xyplot, curve ...) for a presentation with powerpoint. I used to save my plot as pdf and after to copy them as image in powerpoint but the quality is not optimal by so doing. Another completely independent question is the following: when I use "main" in the xyplot, the main title is very close to my plot, i.e. no ligne separate the m...

Greetings, gentlemen. I'm trying to make videos play in PowerPoint 2007. I've installed Windows Media Player via winetricks. When I add video into PowerPoint, only sound plays. I tried to install K-Lite Codec pack. In WMP some videos were playing OK, however PowerPoint crashed during video insertion into presentation. When I removed K-Lite, PowerPoint cra...

Hi Everyone Samba 3.6.7 on OpenSuse 12.2 x86_64 I have an unusual problem for which I have not been able to find a solution on the Internet. With Powerpoint 2003, there was no issue. With Powerpoint 2007, the user cannot advance slides unless the file is saved locally on the client (Windows XP SP3, ntfs filesystem). When the file is loaded from the samba share, the user can edit and save their powerpoint. They simply cannot run a slideshow. Regardl...

Hello, I am using R to create graphics, especially to plot time series charts. These charts are then copied as metafiles (for best quality) to a PowerPoint presentation and then saved to PDF (via the "Save As" dialog"). Attached is two pictures. The first picture shows how my chart looks like in the R Graphics window, and the second picture shows how the chart becomes after saving it to PDF. < http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n46...

PowerPoint Viewer 1997 work nicely, but the installation for PowerPoint Viewer 2003 seems incomplete. It emits a number of fixme:msi warnings. It would be a nice wishlist item.

The spaces in the netbios name were the cause. Powerpoint 2007 worked as expected when the spaces were removed on a test setup. It also worked when a netbios alias was added to smb.conf. If I get the time, I will have to investigate why every other piece of software in the building, including Powerpoint 2003, didn't seem to mind spaces in the netb...

hi, all. I use R on a unix (linux) box and am quite happy with it. However, sometimes I need to create a graph that needs to be used with Microsoft Word or Powerpoint (ug). I can create a png or jpeg format picture, but the text look pretty crummy because jpeg is bitmapped. I can also create a PS/EPS version (my preference), but then it doesn't display properly in word or powerpoint (but it prints OK). I guess I have two questions: 1) Are there any plan...

Hi all, I'm new to the list, so please be patient with me. Samba 2.0.7 is running on a compaq alpha server es40 with tru64 4.D. We got a problem with powerpoint files on a samba share. As soon as I open a powerpoint file on a samba share the modification time of the file changes, even if I'm not changing anything whithin the file. This only happens if I open *.ppt files which where created by others. We got the same problem with excel files, but this s...
