Hi Max,

It looks like most of answers were towards to the statisticians you work with 
(i.e. R -> Word).  For yourself, if you just worry about converting the PDF 
reports from your statisticians to Word, here is another link with a more 
comprehensive review besides the two online apps Prof. Harrell's mentioned on 
his webpage.

Also, Adobe Acrobat 9.0 can do PDF->Word, but I haven't tried it personally.
