Hi all,
As I wrote on other instances of this thread (that I think gotten split
because of me - my apologies for that!), I was able to use Greg Snow
solution to write something up for Faiz (and other blind R users), to help
direct R output into word.
I published it here:
http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/05/helping-the-blind-use-r-by-exporting-r-console-to-word/

<http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/05/helping-the-blind-use-r-by-exporting-r-console-to-word/>I
hope it will help.

My thank for all of you who where willing to help!

With much respect,
Tal
