Dear LyX users,

I need to change the caption label that LaTeX automatically supplies
for tables in floats. By default, the label is "Table". I want it to
read, say, "Tab." instead. I put

\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.}

into the preamble, but nothing happens--LyX compiles as before.
\renewcommand works in plain LaTeX--is there some sort of a conflict
in LyX? I wouldn't know where to start looking, because my grasp of
LaTeX is pretty basic.

LyX 1.5.5

MacTeX-2007
