I'm not sure what you mean by copying it into your word-sheet, but latex 
has a lot of flexibility in formatting tables.  See the 
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Tables page for a description.  It 
might be that you can get xtables to produce output suitable for that; 
you can certainly get the tables package to do it.  (The vignette gives 
an example of a multi-page table, but doesn't include any rotated ones.)
