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?

At that point the table (larger than tall) will not fit and will need to be rotated. – Fabio Campanile Jan 02 '22 at 18:23
