You're correct.  Conversion from LaTeX to OpenOffice or Word is 
addressed at http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/SweaveConvert.  I have had 
good success opening the output of tth in Firefox and copying and 
pasting into OpenOffice, as this operation preserves all table and other 
formatting.

When I wrote about latex(model fit) earlier I was referring to obtaining 
the algebraic form of a fitted model, handling such things as restricted 
cubic splines and factoring out variables in interaction terms.  The 
latex methods in Design do not produce tables of coefficients and 
standard errors.
