in the last step, how exactly did you format the table to make it look tht nice? without the tiles and the thicker lines?
Thx!

Defeats the purpose. Should have written an R code to automatically save R tables to word.

Have you found an R solution for cases when you want your exported table to contain values with thousands commas? That is, the table contains numbers like 1000, 3243, and so on. I don't want to manually add 121 thousands commas to this appendix table in my Word document.

I can imagine complicated solutions by reading the exported csv into Excel, then setting cell type to numeric, then exporting again as a csv file that uses slashes instead of commas to separate, and then adding it into MS-Word. But that is a clunky solution.
