If have one problem concerning vertical centering in tables. I tried the methods, I found at Herbert´s great page and also at this mailing list: I have a table of three column and one row. 1. I fixed the width of the first two columns to 20mm 2 Then I tried to set the valign to center by using Layout-Paragraph-Extra. But the problem is, that I´m not able to activate the center-option. Thus I downloaded the expamle file from http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/table/vertical.html but I was not able to open it with Lyx 1.1.5fix1, because it crashed, when opening the file. Another question about this expample is the use of a table inside another table. I also tried this, but it looks like it only works on older versions of Lyx. Is there a workaround for this, because linebreaks within columns doesn´t work (or I´m to dummy), because the linebreak affected the whole table and not only the column of interest. Thanks in advance Andi
