[R] Best practice for copying statistical output from RStudio to Word using Times New Roman

[Richard Sherman]

> Colleagues

> I am writing an article using Microsoft Word for a journal that requires
> Times New Roman for all text (including tables and statistical outputs).
> However, copying console output from RStudio (e.g., summary(lm())) into Word
> retains the RStudio monospace font, and Word does not automatically convert
> it to Times New Roman. Manually restyling each pasted block is
> time-consuming and error-prone.
> 
> s there a recommended workflow for preserving proper alignment while
> achieving Times New Roman text formatting when transferring statistical
> results from RStudio into Word?

Rmarkdown, with this in the YAML:

mainfont: Times New Roman

It might be necessary to specify

output: 
  pdf_document:
    latex_engine: xelatex
mainfont: Times New Roman 

If necessary one could specify 

output:
  word_document

but I’ve had less success with that (in placing figures, for example).	

In graphs and so on, it might be necessary to specify the font in the code that creates them.
