In Windows, name the range of the 3 columns you're trying to copy in Excel. You can then paste it in your Word document using the following bit:

from win32com import client

excel = client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
word = client.Dispatch("Word.Application")

doc = word.Documents.Open("C:/word_file.docx")
book = excel.Workbooks.Open("C:/excel_file.xlsx")

sheet = book.Worksheets(1) #depends on which sheet your named range is located
sheet.Range(NAMED_RANGE_OF_YOUR_TABLE_IN_EXCEL).Copy() 
  
target = doc.Range()
findtext = "WHERE_I_WANT_TO_PASTE_MY_TABLE_IN_WORD" #use a placeholder in your word document where you want the table to appear

if target.Find.Execute(FindText=findtext):
   table_range = doc.Range(Start = target.start, End=target.end)
   table_range.PasteExcelTable(False, False, False)

It will keep the formatting from the workbook.
