Hi all! I am having some problems with PowerPoint 2000 running in a wine 0.0.20050725-1 debian package. It works fine when I am creating a new presentation, but when I am opening old presentations it freezes after displaying the first slide and I am unable to even exit from ppoint. The console shows the following: err:syslevel:_EnterSysLevel (0x7f117380, level 2): Holding 0x7fb1fea0, level 3.

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

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

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

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.

Hi, This is more a statistics question rather than R question. But I thought people on this list may have some pointers. MY question is like the following: I would like to have a robust regression line. The data I have are mostly clustered around a small range. So the regression line tend to be influenced strongly by outlier points (with large cook's distance). From the application 's

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

Hi, I'm trying to write the PowerPoint2007 filter in the same manner that I did for *.docx and *.xlsx but I'm getting the following error when I tru an index. The document is called: Indexing "/Frisk in Power Point.pptx" as application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation ... caution: filename not matched: ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide*.xml caution:

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 crashes no more but again I can

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]]

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 height,width parameters and

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,

Hi all, Although R seems to have jpeg() and png() functions that converts data into jpeg and png formated files, it doesn't have functions the other way around. Does one of R contributed packages have gif, jpeg and png image readers?

I've got a 20 slide Powerpoint set up against the expected day someone says "Mitch, could you talk for a short while to the residents on how to use statistics?" It looks good at this end, but I'd love to get at least one more pair of eyes on it. Any volunteers? -- Due to the recession, requests for instant gratification will be deferred until arrears in scheduled

Hello, In S-Plus Windows you can transform graphics to Powerpoint very easily, in R Windows you can use enhanced metafiles (.emf) and Powerpoint almost as easy. Is there a simular way with R in Linux to transform to the presentation program in StarOffice or OpenOffice or are you stuck with the pdf device? Fredrik Lundgren

I have some plots that I generating using R (using trellis, plot, and barplot2) that I want to include in a PowerPoint presentation I am giving. My computer is running OS X. I find that presentations are easier to read when there is light text on a dark background and would like to generate plots that fit that style. The plots I am generating are all grayscale. Is there an easy way to get R to

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

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
