Hi,
I want to split a cell in Lyx as shown below. How can I do that?
(Attached file pdf file contains the same table)
In LyX, you cannot split cells, only fusion columns. So, AFAIK, you
cannot do what you want within LyX, quite bad I admit. I guess you can
do it using ERT of course.

I think multi-column (merge cells) can be used to create that table.
Use two columns, then you merge two horizontal cells.

You can only merge _vertical_ cells AFAICS (tested in 1.6).

Excellent! Can you imagine that after 12 years using LyX and maybe 2 years developing it I never knew that this was possible? One always learns :-)
