I don't think that I have seen this mentioned, but you might want to
look at Max Kuhn's ofdWeave package, which provides functionality
similar to Sweave, but for OpenOffice. If you can use OO in lieu of MS
Office, or generate the tables in OO documents and then save the
document in a MS Office file format, you might consider going that route.
