Hi Rob and list
After posting the same message on the Latex Community forum I was informed
of a relatively new tool called datatool which appears to solve the problem.
Unofrtunately I can't seem to get this package to work in Lyx.
Has anybody had any experience with datatool and Lyx
Any help would really be appreciated
Regards
Steve

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?
Cheers,
Rob Oakes

Dear list
As very much a Lyx/Latex newbie, I hope that this is not too difficult a
problem to be resolved.
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

My question is there way a that Lyx/Latex can do this without my manual
intervention.
I hope that the post is clear enough, but if there are any questions
please
shout
Regards
Steve
