LyX ⇒ Lyx Tables

[francesco]

Hello Everyone,

I have started to use lyx (pure Latex seems too unfriendly) a couple of months ago and I am having some problems with the tables.

I am trying to put a table of 13 columns and 16 rows in a page but I have been unsuccessful up to now. In fact, I had to split this table in three sub-tables but the result is not really nice. I attach the tables.

At this regard I have two questions:
1)Does anyone have any suggestion to produce one table which should include everything in it?
2)How do I put correctly the caption with the table description? Until now I’ve just written centred and below the table with a small font. Unfortunately, very often, it doesn’t stick with the table. Any suggestions on this?

Thanks

Francesco

Hi Francesco,

insert a float object, then insert the table. First go to the menu, click Insert -> Floats -> Table, you will get a line where you can enter the caption. Then back to the menu: Insert -> Table, as you did before, into this float box.

Thanks Stefan....
The thing is that the table I try to fit it in is too wide that it doesn’t fit in the vertical page. Then I tried to rotated it in the horizontal way, and then the page number is there. Can I eliminate the number from only that page?
Thanks, F

Can I eliminate the number from only that page?

You could insert an ERT field on this page and write there:

Code: Select all

\thispagestyle{empty}
