[R] Transferring results from R to MS Word

To reply to myself, for anything that can be coerced into a table 
(matrices, vectors) the best solution seems to to use the write.table () 
function to write a .csv file, which is easily opened with a spreadsheet.

The alternative is to use the HTML2clip () function (or the HTML 
function) in the R2HTML library and then paste the clipboard into Excel. 
  That alternative seems to be OK for objects as returned by the lm () 
function, but little else.  Among other things, the function is 
extremely heavyhanded in respect to rounding.  To see what I mean, try 
HTML2clip (mean(attitude)).

So, are there any other alternatives?

Tom
