If this is inside a table float, just put the initial ERT block inside 
the float (not outside the float), along with the table and the closing 
brace (in ERT).


From what I've seen on the web, \resizebox is designed to squish 
graphics, not text. What usually works for me is to highlight the entire 
contents of the table (just the table, not including the caption) and 
reduce the size of the font.


You didn't indicate whether your tables are too wide, too long or both. 
 For tables that fit the page width but are too long, you can switch to 
a longtable.
