A little bit more information about SWord:
It is similar to SWeave in the sense that one writes text and R code in one document,
and the toolchain then replaces the R code by the results produced by running the R code.
In SWeave, this produces a new file which then can processed by TeX.
In SWord, the R output is integrated into the Word document, but the original R code is kept also.
Therefore, in SWord, if two people are cooperating, the R person can produce a report in Word
(using Sword) and send the document including the R results to the second person who does not
need to have R.
The second person then can edit the text in the Word document and send it back to the first person
and changes to the R code (or the data) can be made in the Word file.
In the SWeave workflow, the results are only contained in the TeX file.
Any changes in the text made in the TeX file
then have to be backported to the SWeave source file (.Rnw).
