While editing a table in a document, I suddenly noticed it became a longtable. I'm sure I never set that. I don't have time to investigate ATM. Jürgen

I had never even thought about what would happen to a longtable inside a float---as you say, it does not make sense. That's probably why it took me a while to understand what was going on.

I think I solved the problem, but I am even more puzzled. Exporting to latex and looking at the source file I noticed that both tables (one per float) had been set to longtables. Removing the longtable setting from within lyx restored correct numbering. What I don't understand is: 1. Why the longtable setting was turned on, since these are short tables and I do remember NOT choosing it? It seems that Lyx had done that automatically. Is that possible? 2. But even in that case, why does a long table inside a table float count as TWO tables? Is this expected Latex behavior? I am enclosing a short file (just the two tables), even though it may not seem necessary.

Re: Strange table numbering
Hi there! I found out the circumstances when table floats get numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, ... or 2, 4, 6, 8, ... I put longtables inside the floats, since doing that seemed to get the tables centred. (Having used LyX more now, I know that's not the way to do it -- you just set the paragraph layout to centred.) Is the longtable float numbering a bug? Is is sensible to put a longtable (designed for making tables span multiple pages) inside a float? Then again, how else can a longtable get a caption? Glenn

What's going on here? do you have lyx-paragraphsytle caption doubled in the floats? can you send an example-file with two tables, which shows the behaviour Herbert -- http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/
