Sarah Goslee might want to chime in, but using odfWeave and appropriate 
LibreOffice templates, you can generate beautifully formatted tables, 
possibly in the style you wish, in LibreOffice, as well as add R figures.

The R2wd package (which has a proprietary component) will also generate 
tables directly in Word (on windows machines) and their default theme is 
pretty attractive to me. I'm pretty sure even that is customizable. You 
can also put R plots directly into Word that way as well.
