You asked about the Columns environment before. Columns (center aligned) is different -- it does not seem to accept options. As far as I can tell, Columns (center aligned) is functionally the same as Columns (both center things vertically), so Columns with the width argument should work for you. You can also add other options in ERT. For instance, Columns with [b,totalwidth=60mm] in ERT will bottom-align the columns while setting the combined width. Paul
