Table column width

2007-07-02 Thread Grahame Blackwood
Hi I am trying to set the width of a column in a table, but no matter what I do, it refuses to work. I think I have followed the instructions in the manual, trying repeatedly with the menu Edit>Table Settings or right-clicking within the column and setting the Width to the required value, and

Hi Steve, Paul and Uwe Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately I haven't had any success so far with them. Steve, pressing ENTER after setting the column width as 6cm still didn't work. Whatever I do in this dialogue box in relation to the fixing the width, ie clicking on the check box and

ConvTex

Hi All Does anyone use ConvTex to convert from LyX to OpenOffice via Latex? (see http://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyX2OpenOffice) When I do this, I find that % signs in the .tex file (exported from LyX) are ignored when the file is converted to an OpenOffice .sdw file. Has anyone else found this min

Hi LyXers I'm producing a document that needs some graphics to enliven the text. I would also like the text to wrap round the graphics. However, as it isn't an academic document, the usual references, Figure 1, Figure 2 etc aren't needed in the finished pdf. Does anyone know if there is any way
