I need to fill the appendix of my work (I am using scrbook) with a lot (more than 100) of large tables. This is the end of a long work by a group of people. The tables were done in Microsoft Word in a A4 landscape format, and I need to import them without re-writing the all thing. As a first thing I converted them using the write2latex extension of Libreoffice. An excerpt of the output is shown below (there is only one table, here, of will not be not in a landscape format and the only solution I found is to rotate them of 90°. Therefore, I inserted a minipage environment to rotate each table, hoping that it will suffice to fit them into the page.
Can you think of any better solution?

One more solution with
tabularraypackage with combination of theenumitemandetoolboxpackage.Edit: For percentage of value is used
siunitxpackage (instead of95%is used\qty{95}{\%}which gives typographically nicer result). Also are changed(P= 0.97)and similar expressions to(P = 0.97)or for example to \mbox{(P = 0.09)} etc.Addendum: Solution with classic tables' packages:
As you can observe, in table design need more manual tweaks as in the first MWE. Result is similar as before:
However, this with some additional effort can be done with ˙tabular*
or eventabular` too, however, determination of columns and multi-columns widths at them is a bit more challenging.Off-topic I guess that your document is in portrait orientation (as they are usually are). In this case only the tables due to their width) to be in the
landscapeorientation. This can be done by use of thesidewaystableenvironment defined in therotatingpackage (for one page long tables) or by use oflandscapeenvironment defined bylscapeorpdflscapepackages. Which is more appropriate depends from your document structure.
