I don't think this forum is the appropriate place for personal harangues

I disagree. I don't thing the developers of R for Mac shoud spend

*ahem* I think the developers for the Mac version of R will do
whatever they please. This may in fact include better compatibility
with a certain office suite. It may not.
Personally, I would like the ability to drag and drop (or cut and
paste) from Excel to R's GUI directly into a data frame. I

No-one obliges anyone to use Word and no product can be dangerous to

Thank you everyone for your input. It is precisely all of this
confusion/disagreement/incompatibilities that led me to post my query.
I have just tried everything that has been suggested, and will try to
