 You might have noticed that there is also a `tablesandfigures.Rmd` file in the root directory. This is for users who will need to produce Word documents. I have found no clean way to produce decently formatted tables and figures in Word using this method. I recommend keeping tables and figures in a separate docuemnt that you always render as a PDF, and a separate file for the manuscript text.
