[R] How good is R at making publication quality tables?

[Muenchen, Robert A (Bob)]

Hi Paul,

Sorry I didn't get to that subject in the first edition of R for SAS and SPSS Users. Several of the options people have mentioned will be in the second edition, although that's about a year off. I did get them added to R for Stata Users, due out in early April.

Cheers,
Bob
