Re: float caption label for tables
I have been struggling to do this and now I have found a little trick, I use
this simple ERT command (LyX 1.5.5 - Ubuntu 8.04) inside the float:Table
\renewcommand\tablename {Tab.}
it works as expected, and I do similar thing to change the name of float figure
\renewcommand\figurename {Pict.}
You will see the result after you view pdf/dvi/ps. The LyX editor displays the
original: Table, Figure.
Thx ... /Adi

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.

Re: float caption label for tables
Thanks, all--the following did the trick.
\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captionsenglish{%
\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.}%
}}

Try
\AtBeginDocument{%
\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.}
}
and if this doesn't help, try
\AtBeginDocument{%
\addto\captionsenglish{%
\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.}%
}}

This looks like babel is overwriting your definition AtBeginDocument.
You can try with ERT (Insert>Latex) inside the document.

Export the document to latex, renew \tablename -> what happens?
