Hi Chris,

Following this thread, I started experimenting with the R2wd package myself.

I wrote to the developer who gave me some promising news (that is - that an
updated package is expected to be released in the next couple of months)
I wrote about this, and gave an example session on what I found can be done
with R2wd here:
http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/05/exporting-r-output-to-ms-word-with-r2wd-an-example-session/

This package is in it's early stages, but can still function well (though
probably much less then what a Latex person can do with Sweave)
