I'm having a persistent problem here, please try if you can reproduce it: create an empty LyX doc in preamble: \addpackage{colortbl} create a table insert some text in one cell add ERT: \cellcolor{yellow} before the text see if you can view DVI or if you get an error
If you get the error 'Undefined control sequence \cellcolor', which you probably will, try replacing the \cellcolor with \rowcolor and it probably works Thing is, both should be valid according to the package doc's: http://www.ctan.org/info?id=colortbl I'm at a loss here. I need to have table rows background colored (\rowcolor) will do that but not including multicolumn cells, thats where \cellcolor or \columncolor should come in ...
