 \description{
 A set of R functions to output Rich Text Format (RTF) files with high
 resolution tables and graphics that may be edited with a standard word
 processor such as Microsoft Word.  This is useful for compiling R
 results into a document for further editing or to be merged with another
 document.

 While Sweave and odfWeave provide nicely formatted outputs, the syntax
 can be difficult for beginners to master. Moreover, Sweave compilation
 to a PDF is not editable.  Other packages such as SWord and R2wd provide
 similar functionality but require the user to be running a Microsoft
 Windows OS.

 This package is written in pure R and does not require leaving the R
 environment to write files. R data frames and table objects are converted to
 nicely formatted RTF tables.  One important limitation of the RTF
 specification is that vector graphics output is limited to Windows Meta File
 (WMF) and Enhanced Meta File (EMF) formats.  Because these formats are not
 supported across platforms, this package currently only supports RTF
 embedding of PNG plots and images.  To ensure high quality reports, the
 resolution may be specified when writing the RTF output.
