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.
