The original 2001 JSM presentation by Jon Cryer is available here:

  https://oit.utk.edu/research/documentation/Documents/ExcelStatProbs.pdf

and here:

  
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.617.4297&rep=rep1&type=pdf

It would appear that he has retired from Iowa and may no longer have an online 
directory.

Patrick Burns also has a very good presentation and a reference listing here:

as does Frank:

  http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/ExcelProblems


FWIW, in the context of a nuanced response and differentiating between using 
Excel for any actual analyses, which is largely what the above references are 
warning against and simply for narrowly exporting R results, there are various 
packages available that can facilitate that, presuming you solve the underlying 
issue of getting the data into a compatible format (e.g. data frame).

The R Data Import/Export Manual is helpful here:

  https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-data.html

The use of the ?str function can help provide insights into the structure of 
the returned object and how you might access selected components of the 
structure to achieve your goal.

An alternative to using Excel would be to use something like the Knitr package, 
which supports the use of markdown and can facilitate exporting formatted 
tables, etc. to HTML, PDF and so forth:
