Have you tried xtable? library( xtable ) x <- structure(list(Record = 1:3, Average = c(34L, 14L, 433L), Maximum = c(899L, 15L, 1003L)), .Names = c("Record", "Average", "Maximum"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -3L)) x <- xtable( x ) print( x ) % latex table generated in R 2.15.2 by xtable 1.7-1 package % Fri May 17 22:22:00 2013 \begin{table}[ht] \centering \begin{tabular}{rrrr} \hline & Record & Average & Maximum \\ \hline 1 & 1 & 34 & 899 \\ 2 & 2 & 14 & 15 \\ 3 & 3 & 433 & 1003 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table}
