A little more on topic is that there are tools for R to nicely format output.

The simplest is probably the R2wd package which will transfer objects
and text to word, you can send a matrix or data frame to word as a
nicely formatted table or wdVerbatim will send output to word but make
sure that the font is the correct type to make things line up.

If you are going to be doing a lot of this then you should investigate
the variations on Sweave (Sword, knitr, odfWeave, etc.) which allow
you to create a template file with R code and report text, then
process it to replace the R code with its output.
