[R] R output

The two other responses I saw suggested using write.table, which is  
fine if the object is a data.frame, but maybe not so great if the  
object comes from summary on a model  or aov. My memory from years  
gone by of Excel's handling of material that had been copied to the  
clipboard from webpages, is that it maintains the formatting quite  
well. You might want to look at xtable, which has an html method for  
the print function for xtable. I cannot test it in Excel but it gives  
formatted output for use in OpenOffice.org.

install package xtable and then:
library(xtable)
?xtable
# and work through the examples on the help page.
