[R] Simple R (in Sweave) Question

I am writing a report using Sweave with specific R output incorporated into
the text using the Sexpr{} command.  I have run into two specific issues:

1)  If the result inside the Sexpr{} command is an integer less than 10 I
would like to print the “word” for that number – e.g., “seven” for 7.
2)  If a p-value is “equal to zero” to some arbitrary number of decimal
places -- e.g., formatC(pvalue,format=”f”,digits=4) returns 0.0000 -- I
would like to print “<0.00005”.

I have attempted searching R-help et al but am not sure what keywords to use
for these questions.  I can picture the format of functions to solve these
issues but would be interested in pointers to previous solutions if they
exist.

Thank you in advance for any help.
