Well I found my problem. I had somehow typed my data that should have been in the table itself into the table cell attributes (special): -<cell multicolumn="1" alignment="center" valignment="top" topline="true" leftline="true" rightline="true" usebox="none" special="Destination IP address"> +<cell multicolumn="1" alignment="center" valignment="top" topline="true" leftline="true" rightline="true" usebox="none"> So I have a working table at http://reedmedia.net/~reed/tmp-lyx-asilcfybgiqu8rt7/table.lyx Now I need to work on getting it narrower. My original table uses a small font for top numbers. I may try that. Also, I saw similar table that has cells with number ranges (0-3, for example) instead of listing every number. So I may try that too. I need to get it down around 5 to 6 inches wide at the most. > Also I have a problem with trying to get multiple of the column widths > changed at one time.
