Michael - your e-mail is incomplete in a number of ways (output of 
typing "version", which package (Design), reference to documentation for 
function (type ?latex.anova.Design), reference to ?latex.default).  You 
can also check the code for latex.anova.Design to see what it will and 
won't do, and whether it's easy for you to change.  Improvements in the 
code are welcomed.
