Greetings,
I'm running LyX 1.6.4 under Ubuntu 9.10 with TeXLive. Don't know how to get
TeXLive version, but tex --version gives me
TeX 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)
kpathsea version 3.5.6
I've imported a TeX document that worked great under MikTeX/TeXCenter on
winders. It has a big table that has to be printed landscape and has footnotes
so it has to be in a minipage. So, what worked previously was
\begin{sidewaystable}
\caption{A Table}
\begin{minipage}{0.77\linewidth}
\begin{tabular}{ m{1.22in} d{3.2} d{3.2} d{3.2} m{0.5in} m{0.5in} d{3.2}
d{3.2} d{3.2}}
...
\end{tabular}
\label{table:a_table}
\end{minipage}
\end{sidewaystable}
LyX converted this to
%
\begin{sidewaystable}
\caption{A Table}
\end{sidewaystable}
%
\begin{minipage}[c]{0.77\linewidth}%
\begin{tabular}{m{1.32in}d{3.2}d{3.2}d{3.2}>{\raggedleft}m{0.7in}>{\raggedleft}m{0.7in}d{3.2}d{3.2}d{3.2}}
\hline
...
which, of course, doesn't work at all since the minipage and tabular are
outside the sidewaystable now.
BUT - I'm able to cut the table in the WYSIWYG and paste it into the
sidewaystable so it looks right in the TeX window, but then LyX goes
into an infinite loop and I have to kill the process. Any effort to
edit the recovered document has the same outcome.
Meanwhile, if I put a barebones table in a sidewaystable and a minipage,
it prints on the bottom of the page, not sideways, and running off the
right margin.
Workarounds?
