I took a quick look at this. It seems to work fine as long as it’s not in a float (which I guess kind of makes sense now I think about it…).
Shay, Well, that certainly makes sense. I hadn't considered that as my focus was on the document itself. Perhaps the devs can make a note of this in the User Guide (I think that's the manual in which I found the chapter on tables). If this information was there it didn't register with me at the time as I was focused on figuring out where to find the mulit-table tab (until I discovered a right-click on a row).
As soon as you put it in a float, that’s when I get the effect you describe, so try Inserting the Table on a blank paragraph in normal text mode.
I wonder if there's a way to convert a floating table to a static one without needing to re-create the whole thing.
Someone else will have to help you regarding table numbering and captioning, though. Perhaps the longtable manual can help.
Captions can be added, if I correctly recall, from the Insert menu. I don't know that numbering cares if tables are static or floating. Thanks very much, Rich
