I was right that there is an easy answer!

Thanks for the 3 quick answers, all three correct and useful.

Dear Terry,

Does fitting group + age:group instead of age*group solves your problem?

    I'd like to get interaction terms in a model to be in another form. Namely, 
suppose I
    had variables age and group, the latter a factor with levels A, B, C, with  
age *
    group in the model.  What I would like are the variables "age:group=A", 
"age:group=B"
    and "age:group=C"  (and group itself of course).  The coefficients of the 
model will
    then be the age effect in group A, the age effect in group B and the age 
effect in C
    rather than the standard ones of an overall age effect followed by 
contrasts.  These
    is often a better format for tables in a publication.

    Yes, I can reconstruct these from the original fit, but I have a lot of 
variables for
    several models and it would be easier to have an automatic form.  I suspect 
that there
    is an easy answer, but I don't see it.
