John:
Here is the code of my xtable:
TABLE <-xtable(dec_analy, digits = c(0,0,0,0,2,2,0),
                       align = "ccccccc", latex.environments = "center",
                       caption = "Analysis ")
print.xtable(TABLE, type="html",file="C:/R_Data/Table.html",
              include.rownames = FALSE,
              caption.placement = "top",
              align = "p{.5in}p{.5in}p{.5in}p{.5in}p{.5in}p{.5in}")
