Re: placing a large table in landscape orientation
Belated thanks to you both. The ERT \scriptsize ... \normalsize around the table was good, and I combined it with the rotated table float, and got just what I needed. Thanks a lot!

placing a large table in landscape orientation
Hi all, I have moderately wide table that I would like to place on a page of my LyX document in landscape format. I have been able to do this, although note that it comes out wrong in the DVI viewer, but appears not bad in the pdflatex output. The problem is that the text is a little too large, and even with the landscape orientation, my table is too big for the page. How can I shrink down the size of the text used in the table? Alternatively, how can I make the table's caption show in landscape format as well, rather than above the rotated figure?
