Well, as I need to add some experimental results in my dissertation, I ended with a table of 76 rows and 7 columns of arithmetical data. The final pdf output looks really messy as you might suspect!
Can I do something to automatically separate the table at the end of the page and continue to the next, instead of having Lyx trying to put everything on the same page (and failing miserably?)

Re: Really long table? Is it possible?
Yes, use the longtable-option. Right-click the table and choose settings. In the Longtable-tab, check the box for using a long table.

Re: Really long table? Is it possible?
Yes, you are right. In fact, I had the longtable option activated, but I had put the table in a float - and float always have to appear on a single page.
