Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I could highlight and manually switch the selection to math insets but this is very slow/tedious if there are many fields which require editing. If I were to go down this route I think I would rather copy and paste latex code into an ERT which, on restarting LyX, should give me the tables and correct formats. It would really be nicer if I could simply paste content into LyX and have the math values recognised. Does anyone else have any ideas? Thanks, Ken
