Subject: Re: Longtable
According to the Docs captions cannot be used unless in a float. So it
looks like you will have to do ALL this by hand in ERT. I am willing to be
stood corrected though.
so
\begin{longtable}
Sorry this should read \gegin{longtable}{....}
with the {} defining the alignment of all your columns e.g {lcr} for a three
column table with the first left aligned the 2nd centered and the third
right.
\caption[myfirsttable]{myfirsttable} \label{tab1} \\
...............now all the table layout commands and data.............
\end{longtable}
The caption bit is split in two [] defines what goes in the List of Tables
if you have one, and {} what goes in the caption next to the table. THis
will put the caption above the table, just move the command to the end to
put it underneath.
You can cross-reference this by putting the following in ERT whenever you
need it.
\ref{tab1}
For info on how to generate tables using latex just go on the web.

Hi Herbert and Axel - that was indeed the problem ...
obviously that leaves me with a problem: Captions and table labels etc,
which
normally go inside the float ...
Kind regards

sure, but a longtable cannot be part of a floating
environment. So don't put a longtable inside of
a table environment.
