You can programmatically create content directly in Word from R
including tables, lists, paragraphs, etc. via a DCOM connection
where R is the client and Word is the server. There are two packages
to do this - rcom and RDCOMClient and both allow you to work at much
higher levels of specificity than cutting and pasting HTML or CSV content.
You'd have to learn a little about the DCOM API for Word, but there
are examples.

| #How could I create the latex-code for the crosstable?
