Hi,
Do you know how to make a protected half space, so the units don't come out
on a different line than the number?
Miki
Well, if you put it inside an equation, then the thin space itself *is*
protected. BTW, inside an equation you can also type in the thin space
as \, .
I created a math macro for myself called units which does the following:
#1\,\mathrm{#2}
Then, to type in units you just have to Ctrl-m (enter math mode) \units
space (enter the value) RIGHT (or LEFT in an RTL paragraph) (enter the
units) space space. The result has a protected thin space, with the
units in roman letters, as they should be.

As you are using LyX 1.5 you can enter it directly via the keyboard. The
only thing you have to do
is to use the default encoding for English in your case. Attached is a
LyX-file showing this.
You can alternatively use the ERT-command
\textmu
when you add this to your document preamble:
\usepackage{textcomp}
Concerning units, don't forget that there is only a hlaf space between
number and units. A half
space is produced in LyX with the shortcut "Ctrl-Shift Space" (menu
Insert-> Formatting -> Thin
space), see also the attached example.
