Use "section*" instead of "section". If you want the section to show up in
the table of contents nevertheless, you need some TeX code.

Add following LaTeX Commands for tablewide fontsize:

And by the way, specifying direct LaTeX commands seems to work fine in
the all or nothing case but what if I for instance just want to make one

the mouse and use the pull down to toggle the bold flag. Now I have to
mark each column individually such that it gets a red box around the
text in the cell and then I have to explicitly mark all characters in
the red box...
Ideally I would like to have the old behaviour back and then when

find and replace
Hi!
Is there a way to use latex commands in the find-replace funktion of
lyx? E.g.: guess you have 1times the word "dog" but finally you want
"\emph{dog}"... ;-). Such a funktion would be handy!!!
I could export the document to latex and use find replace with an
editor. But after importing the file again to lyx the latex compilation
always complains about several mistakes
Another question: Is there a shortcut (in the german GUI)to exit the
note menu?
I am using lyx 1.1.6fix1

find and replace
Hi!
Is there a way to use latex commands in the find-replace funktion of
lyx? E.g.: guess you have 1times the word "dog" but finally you want
"\emph{dog}"... ;-). Such a funktion would be handy!!!
I could export the document to latex and use find replace with an
editor. But after importing the file again to lyx the latex compilation
always complains about several mistakes
Another question: Is there a shortcut (in the german GUI)to exit the
note menu?
I am using lyx 1.1.6fix1

Add following LaTeX Commands for tablewide fontsize:

Use "section*" instead of "section". If you want the section to show up in
the table of contents nevertheless, you need some TeX code.
( "\addcontentsline{Sectionname}" or something like that, I don't
remember)

And still I'd consider this process a step backward compared to
LyX-1.1.5 where it was possible to use the GUI to adjust the font size
and other characteristics. I'm afraid the same ugly method has to be
used in order to change other attributes like makeing some columns Bold.
And by the way, specifying direct LaTeX commands seems to work fine in
the all or nothing case but what if I for instance just want to make one
row bold face? In LyX-1.1.5 (and earlier) I could select the row with
the mouse and use the pull down to toggle the bold flag. Now I have to
mark each column individually such that it gets a red box around the
text in the cell and then I have to explicitly mark all characters in
the red box...
Ideally I would like to have the old behaviour back and then when
talking about an improvement it would make sense to enhance the
mouse-selection logic such that in tables not only selection from right
to left is possible but also the selection of columns.

Yes, the ability to apply operations across tables, rows, and columns is a missing feature, especially with spellchecker. This will require some additional work.

(In fact, the result is better than 1.1.5 as the heights of the cells are decreased accordingly to the font size.) You just don't get a visual feedback in LyX. This will hopefully be fixed soon.
