just a comment: Web view in Word is much better than html for studies with many variables.

@ampiccinin, why do you like it better? I know @andkov like how Word's web view flows wide and occupies as much horizontal real estate as possible. We've both been unhappy how the default html reports constrain the graphs in such a narrow space.

Theoretically, this dimension should be an adjustable with css. A few of my attempts to find it have failed. It's probably time for me to submit a question to Stack Overflow.

Yihui's new bookdown book should be arriving soon. I'm hoping it has stuff we can use for our longer reports.

@wibeasley - yup - real estate. I was surprised! With Word, I can usually get the window wide enough that the cells don't wrap. So much less strain on the eyes and brain. Seems like it should be possible to get html to cooperate, though of course I have no idea how.
