I have a table here, which is formatted in Microsoft Word. I wish to have the same table in LaTeX. Here is what I have tried to no avail:
\begin{table}[H]
\noindent
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|p{1cm}|p{2cm}|l|X|}
\toprule
\multicolumn{1}{c}{Aim} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Personnel} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Timelines} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Outcomes} \\
\midrule
1 & CI In, RA & 01/2014 - 06/2014 & 1. Collect data on fund characteristics, returns, and screening information for SRI funds. 2. Calculate Bayesian abnormal performance measures for SRI funds. 3. Determine the impact of investment screens and prior information on SRI fund performance. 4. Write working paper and send it for publication. \\
2 & CI In, RA & 06/2014 - 11/2014 & 1. Collect data on cash flows, fund expenses, fund returns, benchmark and nonbenchmark asset returns, and screening information for SRI funds. 2. Calculate Bayesian and frequentist alphas, and apply sorting procedure. 3. Determine the impact of prior information, fund expenses, and nonbenchmark assets on SRI fund performance persistence and cash flow predictability. 4. Write working paper and send it for publication. \\
3 & CI In, RA & 11/2014 - 05/2015 & 1. Collect data on stock characteristics, institutional ownership, analyst coverage, and screening information. 2. Model relationship between stock characteristics and stock screening policies. 3. Determine how SRI strategies influence a firm's economic behaviour. 4. Write working paper and send it for publication. \\
4 & CI In, RA, PhD student & 05/2015 - 10/2015 & 1. Collect key economic and demographic data, SRI mutual fund, SRI indices characteristics, and return data. 2. Create database of economic and demographic factors. 3. Model relationship between SRI growth and economic and demographic factors. 4. Write working paper and send it for publication. \\
5 & CI In, RA & 10/2015 - 03/2016 & 1. Collect fund characteristics data, screening data, and ESG rankings. 2. Create database with key analysis of types, total numbers, detailed screening process, and ethical ratings of portfolios. 3. Determine relationship between different types of fees, screening types/intensity, and ethicality of portfolios. 4. Write working paper and send it for publication. \\
6 & CI In, RA, PhD student & 03/2016 - 12/2016 & 1. Collect available portfolio holdings data, SRI fund characteristics, and general Australian mutual fund market data. 2. Create database with calculation of competitive measure, ranked returns, and other relevant variables. 3. Determine relationship between the probability of disclosure and relevant factors. 4. Write working paper and send it for publication. \\

I would like to maintain the same borders (i.e., vertical lines between columns, horizontal lines around the entire table, etc) as in the MS Word file, however any other suggestions to make it look nicer is appreciated.
Also, this table will most likely span across 2 vertical pages (as shown in MS Word), how do I do that in LaTeX?
Here are pictures of the MS Word table:
Also I just realised the MS Word table didnt format the column titles properly, the titles should all be on one row. To be honest, the MS Table doesn't look very nice, it be would be good to somehow make it look much nicer in LaTeX.
Using Excel2Latex's code:
\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{llll}
\toprule
Aim & Personnel & Timeline & Outcomes \\
