Dear Daniel, Liviu and Other LyX Users,
Daniel and Liviu, thank you very much for the recommendations and for the link.
I've been experimenting with the \afterpage package all morning, and I am very
happy to report that it works famously. I am able to exactly the type of
behavior that I wanted by using the \afterpage{\clearpage LongTable} macro.Because I've never been a huge fan of using ERT in LyX documents (at least no more than is necessary), I decided to create a custom inset that would automatically place long tables at the top of a new page, while maintaining the wrapping of the text. The attached module is a first run at that inset. I've been testing it on a couple of rather complicated documents, and it works exactly like I want it to. I'm relatively sure that I'll come across bugs and other such stuff, so I'm sure that it will get posted to my website at some point. I am forwarding it to the group in the hope that others will find it useful.
