Table with fixed width columns

[Stefano Franchi]

I am trying to set up a multi-page, fixed width column table, but my 
attempts seem to be blissfully ignored by LyX.  That is, I select the 
table, go into the pop-up dialog and enter a value in the 'width' 
field. I did this for all the columns in my table. But nothing 
happens---as soon as I go into a cell and add content, the cell is 
horizontally resized. I am following the exact procedure described in 
the user's guide, and I would expect the cell to grow vertically, not 
horizontally. Can anyone enlighten me on the correct steps to follow?
I tried both LyX 1.3 and 1.4, with identical results. I am on a Mac, 
BTW.

Cheers,

Stefano
