Greg, Please look at the SWord package. This package integrates MS Word with R in a manner similar to the SWeave integration of LaTeX with R. Download SWord from rcom.univie.ac.at If you have a recent download of RExcel from the RAndFriends installer, then you will already have SWord on your machine.
