4. In the fourth column of each row, type \textrm followed by a
space,
which will switch you to roman font, then type the explanation.
You can
also use \textup (upright) in place of \textrm, in case you're not
using
roman as the base font family.
The LyX-way of declaring text-in-math is pressing Ctrl-M (or typing
\text).
This will use the current text font.

I have found \mathrm or \textrm to be a much better option since using
Ctrl-M in math mode doesn't seem to retain the proper font size. For
example, in a super/subscript the text appears much too large if you
use Ctrl-M.
