Hi Steve, Yes, you can automatically insert page breaks into a long table. This is done through the use of the longtable package. There is a good overview on how to use longtable in the LyX user manual. Longtable has a few nice features, such as the ability to automatically add a header to the table on every page.
I am not, aware of a way to automatically split a given table into two sections, however. Perhaps others on the list might be able to provide additional recommendations?

I produce a multi-col table of data in R and at the moment I reconfigure the table in Excel so that I can copy/paste it into a report in Word. I have managed to get the Sweave/Lyx link in MS Windows working but my problem is the follows. >From the R code the table looks like this - up to 80 rows or more and 5 col lab_id A B ZBW ZWI 4er66 3.60 3.30 3.26 6.49 4gcyi 2.96 2.91 0.47 1.10 5d3hh 3.08 3.11 1.34 -0.88 5d3wt 1.79 1.85 -5.60 -1.56 5ycya # # N/A N/A Middle rows removed to save space t5ee2 2.43 2.45 -2.23 -0.46 t9455 3.00 2.97 0.74 0.67 ta4ww 2.46 2.47 -2.09 -0.41 tatc4 2.65 2.64 -1.09 0.10 u3dd5 2.62 2.69 -1.04 -1.68 u6d33 2.72 2.72 -0.71 -0.30 v3s8f 3.06 3.09 1.21 -0.68 v44h6 2.72 2.73 -0.66 -0.29 wa5hh # # N/A N/A Since this does not fit on a single A4 page (portrait), I then manually split the table in half and it looks like this lab_id A B ZBW ZWI lab_id A B ZBW ZWI 4er66 3.60 3.30 3.26 6.49 h2o42 3.00 2.95 0.69 0.89 4gcyi 2.96 2.91 0.47 1.10 h5s22 3.86 3.79 5.30 1.44 5d3hh 3.08 3.11 1.34 -0.88 h7ss2 2.48 2.00 -3.32 10.35 5d3wt 1.79 1.85 -5.60 -1.56 i8s4b 2.90 2.86 0.16 0.64 5ycya # # N/A N/A ky3sn 2.94 2.93 0.47 0.21 Middle rows removed to save space d33ww 2.93 3.00 0.62 -1.66 tatc4 2.65 2.64 -1.09 0.10 dml25 2.78 2.78 -0.39 -0.12 u3dd5 2.62 2.69 -1.04 -1.68 e33ws 2.95 3.02 0.73 -1.69 u6d33 2.72 2.72 -0.71 -0.30 f3c4g 2.72 2.74 -0.66 -0.65 v3s8f 3.06 3.09 1.21 -0.68 f3s5t 2.83 2.90 0.09 -1.73 v44h6 2.72 2.73 -0.66 -0.29 f44ee 2.79 2.77 -0.39 0.20 wa5hh # # N/A N/A g2a44 2.76 2.77 -0.45 -0.28 My question is there way a that Lyx/Latex can do this without my manual intervention.
