Reading Chapter 2 (Tables) in the embedded objects help manual I see an example of a table with the line, 'continued on next page,' but no instruction on how to insert that. The manual notes that lyx/LaTeX/TeX will break the table across multiple pages but that's not occurring here. When I compile the file (pdflatex) the table runs off the bottom of the page; all 83 lines are on the same page, but (of course) not all are visible. Clarification of how to get lyx to insert page breaks, or how to do so manually, will be really helpful.
Learned the cause of this; have not yet found the solution. Long tables (multipage tables) cannot be in a float. My web searches for how to convert a floating table to a fixed one have been unsuccessful and I've not seen how to do this in the embedded objects manual. How do I change a float table to a fixed table? If it's in one of the documents I've missed it. TIA, Rich
