Uwe, I've looked over the EmbeddedObjects manual, and, sure enough, the problems are documented (I was already wondering why I didn't find a reference to the problem). Just as a suggestion, I'd modify the LyX table dialog (add a warning when adding top space or inter-row space). I tried to insert TeX \strut in the cell(s), and found it had no effect. Then I tried with the preamble, using array, but the spacing inserted seems to distribute very unevenly over the table. I tried with a large value for height to see the effect, and I get lots of extra space in between matrix lines, very little extra space above and below the matrix, and this last space gradually lessens row by row. I think I'd better leave off the borders completely. Cheers, John
