Hi all, As I wrote on other instances of this thread (that I think gotten split because of me - my apologies for that!), I was able to use Greg Snow solution to write something up for Faiz (and other blind R users), to help direct R output into word. I published it here: http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/05/helping-the-blind-use-r-by-exporting-r-console-to-word/
<http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/05/helping-the-blind-use-r-by-exporting-r-console-to-word/>I hope it will help. My thank for all of you who where willing to help!
