I have an 82-line text file which has 5 columns separated by pipes. '|',
and a wide column with location names. Text file format examples:

(N.B. Line length is 110 characters so it likely will be wrapped at
different lengths, depending on which MUA you use.)

  In LyX this will be a long table in landscape orientation among pages in
portrait orientation.

  What is the most efficient procedure to import this to a 5-column, 83-row
table? And, can I define the table size without dragging the table icon off
the bottom of the monitor?

TIA,

Rich
