Hi Juliet,
The example below, when copied from an HTML browser (Konqueror) and 
pasted into a word processor (OpenOffice Write) produces a table with no 
borders, left justified first column and other columns centered. You can 
easily do other justifications if you wish.

library(prettyR)
delim.table(table2,filename="example.html",
  tabegin="<table border=0>",bor="<tr><td>",
  delim="<td align=center>",html=TRUE)
