TeXWorks easy LaTeXing
Sweave keeps R code and report together
Using Sweave in TexWorks
Using Sweave in TexMaker
knitR is better than Sweave. It will cache results so they don't have to be run again. It supports tikz graphics. It has more options.

Significance stars in R output are outlawed!

.First <- function(){
  options(show.signif.stars =FALSE)
}
save.image()

Or put the options into a text file called .Rprofile in the startup directory.
Use getwd() to see where that is.
