Michael,

that is a challenge.

I accept it and suggest that it be a contest on the R-help list.

Please post a pdf file showing some (more than one) tables that you think
look better in Excel than in LaTeX.
I,and probably some others, will send our versions of the tables.

I think a new email thread with an appropriate catchy title would be the
way to do it.
