You might want to consider SWord, which provides similar facilities for the
Word and R
user.  Word-oriented co-authors can modify the Word part of the document
without
impacting the R part of the document.

SWord is by Thomas Baier thomas@statconn.com, author of the statconnDCOM
interface
that is underneath RExcel.  See rcom.univie.ac.at for information and
download and to
sign up on the rcom email list.
