Blue Reference is pleased to announce the release of Inference for R version 3.5.  This is a significant release for Inference that includes several major features requested by users:

·         Inference in PowerPoint: Embed and run R code in PowerPoint presentations just as you can in Word and Excel.

·         Run-in-Place: Execute the R code inside of an Excel, Word, or PowerPoint document and see the code results immediately in the same document – “preview” how your document will execute without having to execute to a separate Results Document.

·         Execute as Blog Posting: Take any Inference in Word 2007 document and generate a results document in the Microsoft Word 2007 Blog Post format – you can now easily blog about your R code and results.  Office 2007 only.

·         Copy and Paste code blocks and expressions between documents.

·         The order of expressions can now be changed.

·         The built-in Inference R functions are now included in the Object Browser.

·         Removed the dependence on the XML and StatDataML R packages – you no longer have to have those packages installed to use Inference for R.

·         Inference now installs in a single installation folder selected by the user during installation.
