[R] Export R generated tables and figures to MS Word

[David L Carlson]

Package xtable will produce html output. If you save the file and then open
it with Word, you will get serviceable results. I've had better luck copying
the output from xtable and pasting it into Excel. Make necessary changes and
then paste the table into Word. Obviously very tedious if you are making
more than a few tables. There is also an R2wd package, but I haven't tried
it.
