R help - Aug 2010 - R Report (was RE: R-help Digest, Vol 90, Issue 25)

I've been following the "R Reports" topic in the digest mode, so
apologies if this has already been mentioned.  

On a Windows platform, there is a package called R2wd which I've
recently discovered and have been using.  It allows one to put data
frames (it's the only object I've tried so far) into a very nicely Word
formatted table.  E.g in its documentation it has this example:
	wdGet()
	wdTitle("The example mtcars")
	wdTable(format(mtcars))

I've used it to get the summary coefficients table from lm() into Word
nicely.  Once it is in Word, it is easy to change the format of the
table to your "standard" format.  This is a very new package but
there's
certainly lots of potentials in it.

Another package that might be useful is the RExcelInstaller, which gives
an integration of R and Excel (again, Windows version, I believe).  I've
used it to call R from Excel directly.

Cheers
Kev
