Did you try setting the vertical alignment of the fixed width column
to "middle"? I find this counterintuitive, but it seems to be how it
works.
Thanks, I can now get the effect I want.
Still, latex is very strange here, or perhaps LyX just
misrepresent things. I set some alignment on the fixed-width
column - in order to have _other_ columns line up with that
alignment? Not only is this odd, but the concept does not
extend to having several fixed-width columns with differing
alignemnts. (How is the other columns going to line up then?
Like the first fixed column? Like the next one says?)
There is indeed odd results when setting up several such
columns. :-(
So I tried forcing my way with insert->vertical space before
and after the symbol. Latex puked on this.
Try setting "protected" on the vertical space. It doesn't seem to
cause LaTeX to object (although it also doesn't seem to accomplish much).
Correct. Latex accepts the protected space, but don't act
on it. So it is useless and should probably be disabled.
