The other one is my own lyx table - and itdoesnt work as expected, but I cant quite see why not ...Ok this appears to be something to do with the fact that you have set column widths in your table settings. I have delete them all and it works.I have no idea why this makes a difference of how you get your table to show up the way you want it to as it now spans more than the page witdth, but it does allow multicol to work properly!I attach the new file but like I say all I have done is removed the column widths from the table properties box.Geoff
Actually, it's not the column widths per se. The problem only occurs when cell contents wrap around to a second line (which, in turn, can only occur if you use a fixed column width). If the column widths are fixed wide enough that no wrapping occur, things go ok. I assume this is a limitation in multirow.
Attached is a file that I think does what you want "manually", by using a raisebox to elevate the content of the lower of the two cells to be merged. You may want to fiddle with the amount of vertical shift.
I think you might also be able to use the cellular package to generate your table, but I don't have it installed here.
