Hello Everyone,
 
Thanks to all who replied to my earlier message. I got quite a few responses and several suggestions about how to create nice looking documents that incorporate output from R. It took some time to investigate these, and in some ways I'm more perplexed than when I started. 
 
After some investigating, I'm thinking about two possibilities. One is to use Org-Mode/Org-Babel, EMACS, ESS. My impression is that this would allow me to make really nice documents, and hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to create a decent looking .rtf version for other people to work on using Pandoc, LaTeX2rtf, etc.
 
Another possibility might be Sword. This likely would involve continuing to "process words the way a food processor processes food" and the software is only free for non-commercial use. The nice thing though is that it works directly with Word and would make collaboration with others a snap. I'm still trying to convince people that R is a good thing. And so a method for creating reports using output from R that doesn't affect them in any way seems particularly appealing.
 
At any rate, I'm going to continuing experimenting with this and I hope people will be willing to entertain any questions I might have in the future.
 
Thanks again,
 
Paul
