Hi Jurgen,
If I remove the fixed width for my columns, then the table extends off the
right hand side of my column. That is why I put in the fixed widths in
the first place. I'll try your multicolumn suggestion, but surely the
fixedness of a column should be independent of the justification of text
within that column?
Is this, therefore, a bug/feature of LaTeX? If so, then maybe it needs
sorting by their experts? One reason I use LyX is to avoid getting
involved with the LaTeX infrastructure at all.
Cheers,
John.
