No problem! As  you may  have gathered  and as Angus  was just  about to
explain in his  original reply, LyX is  not a WYSIWYG (that  do exist in
another  place),  but a  document  processor. The  emphasis here  is  on

have a direct representation. The aforementioned new developments or the
above trick might compensate for this little 'inconvenience'.
