Hi all,
I'm having a bit of trouble getting multiple page tables to work when
also using \placetable for captions. Essentially, I want:
(1) Captions and the ability to reference with \in[].
(2) Alignment within a cell at a decimal point.
(3) Span multiple pages with header/footer.
I think I would prefer to use the standard 'TABLES' method but it
looks like item 2 is only supported in natural tables?
Below are two examples. I don't get page breaks in either case and
the table runs off the bottom of pages 2 and 3.
Thanks,
Randall
