Hello!
Has lyx a command for splitting an existing large table in two parts?
I cannot find something for that.
No, but you can create another table and cut&paste half of the old table
into it.
But what is the real problem here? If you merely need to split a table
across pages, then LyX can do that automatically. Bring up the table
dialog, and check the "longtable" option.
A "long table" will stay in one piece if it happens to fit on the page.
But it will be broken up if it reaches the page bottom, and continue on
the next page. You can have it automatically repeat the headings on the
next page if you wish. A really long table may span many pages.
This is usually the best approach, as the breaking point(s) will be
adjusted as needed if you add more lines in front of your table - or
change the page size later.
