Copy/paste is a bad idea, and not very practical at that (but if you must,
your probably want to do it in a LyX-code environment, at which point
the Sweave/knitr modules are irrelevant). If you have the results
already ready, then what you generally want to do is:
load(".RData")
or whatever the name of your saved workspace, and then use one of packages
xtable, stargazer or Hmisc::latex to neatly format your tables in
LaTeX and place them in your LyX document. If you use Chunks, you want
indeed to insert valid R code exclusively.
