What is the problem you are trying to solve?

If the only reason you are writing it out is just to read it back in later
rather than writing it out as a text file use save() and load().

See WordOpen in the svViews package.

One way that is not absolutely direct but which works
nicely is the xtable package. It will export tables in
html format that can be opened in Word.

An alternative is to save the table in csv format
(write.csv) and edit it in a spreadsheet like Excel or
OpenOffice.org Calc.
