Long tables are just static tables with manually-added float features, such as a caption. You create your table, and then when you're done, create a new row on the top or bottom and then make that row a caption (Caption: On; right-click in any column).

I'm still not doing this correctly. When I try to add a new row above the top row (column headers), it's inserted below that row. Cutting and pasting the column headers to the new second row does not work smoothly. Then I read the EmbeddedObjects.pdf. According to the above-referenced document, I put the cursor in the left-most column of the column headers row, apply Insert -> Caption, and follow that with ERT of \\%. When I do this, the left-most column becaomes as wide as the caption and the rest of the columns are pushed off the visible screen to the right. This happens both when the ERT is within the caption block and immediately to its right. It must be something simple that I'm not seeing and doing. Further clarification will help. Thanks, Rich
