Hi Chris,
Following this thread, I started experimenting with the R2wd package myself.

When I work with clients who want to cut and paste to word or powerpoint I
usually use the odfWeave package, set up a template file with the tables and
graphs (possibly other output), then I run that through odfWeave and then use
openoffice to save the results as a word file that I can send to
odfWeave might be a less daunting option here, as it can output results in
some .doc formats. I have no idea how well tables would survive the
translations, however.
