Hi Milan and Max,

Thanks to each of you for your reply to my post. Thus far, I've managed to find 
answers to some of the questions I asked initially.

I am now able to control the justification of the leftmost column in my tables, 
as well as to add borders to the top and bottom. I also downloaded Milan's 
revised version of odfWeave at the link below, and found that it does a nice 
job of controlling column widths.

There are some other things I'm still struggling with though. 

1. Is it possible to get odfTableCaption and odfFigureCaption to make the 
titles they produce bold? I understand it might be possible to accomplish this 
by changing something in the styles but am not sure what. If someone can give 
me a hint, I can likely do the rest.

2. Is there any way to get odfFigureCaption to put titles at the top of the 
figure instead of the bottom? I've noticed that odfTableCaption is able to do 
this but apparently not odfFigureCaption.

3. Is it possible to add special characters to the output? Below is a sample 
Kaplan-Meier analysis. There's a footnote in there that reads "Note: X2(1) = 
xx.xx, p = .xxxx". Is there any way to make the X a lowercase Chi and to 
superscript the 2? I did quite a bit of digging on this topic. It sounds like 
it might be difficult, especially if one is using Windows as I am.

Thanks,

Paul

Here is a sample Kaplan-Meier table.

<<testKMTable, echo=FALSE, results = xml>>=
odfTableCaption(“A Sample Kaplan-Meier Analysis Table”)
odfTable(survTable, useRowNames = FALSE, digits = 3,
colnames = c("Treatment", "Number", "Events", "Median", "95% LCL", "95% UCL"),
colStyles = c("firstColumn", "secondColumn", "secondColumn", 
"secondColumn", "secondColumn", "secondColumn"),
styles = tableStyles)
odfCat(“Note: X2(1) = xx.xx, p = .xxxx”)

Here is a sample Kaplan-Meier graph.

<<testKMFig, echo=FALSE, fig = TRUE>>=
odfFigureCaption("A Sample Kaplan-Meier Analysis Graph", label = "Figure")
plot(gehan.surv, xlab = "Time", ylab= "Survivorship")
