On my computer just copying that to a text editor and opening with  
OpenOffice.org gets me a table object. I could alternatively saved it  
directly to disk without the copy paste oepration. You have not  
indicated what software you are using, so I guess we would have a  
tough time being any more specific about what _you_ can do with it.  
The odfWeave package and its Sweave counterpart are designed to create  
publication-worthy output.
