The reason to use Org Mode <https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/> would likely be to let it compose the LaTeX or Word document itself based on the markup and the result of the program execution, sort of like the old J Publish.
You can create an ODT document that Word can open, too. Here are the ones created from the jorgtest[12].org files I sent earlier. It may work better than the PDF did, depending upon what you want: - In the output from the first code block, inserting a space before the 33 aligns all the numbers (slightly worse, but correctable by hand). - The boxed numbers look the same in the ODT document as they do in my jqt session in J8.07 (better--it worked).
