hey guys, thank you very much for your help!

Sorry for the confusion! I write my thesis in word (So it would be "word
sheet" - which is obvisously not a word at all :-D sorry again), but for
generating tables I use xtable () with latex output. The data for the table
is stored in an excel sheet.   I managed to implement a multipage table by
using tabular.environment="longtable" in the xtable () function and will
probably try begin/end{landscape} in Latex to turn the table around.

The only way to copy the table into my word document is probably to convert
the latex output into a pdf and then use the snipping tool to cut it out
and paste it into the word document ?
