Need more vertical spacing controls for tables

2003-06-26 Thread Chris Carlen
Hi: I just searched back to find that I can use ERT like this: \rule[-1.5ex]{0pt}{4ex} in table cells to get some vertical space, above and below my stuff. In particular, when I place equations with fractional expressions (I like those) into table cells, they are too close to the top and bott
