I've just started using LyX for real writing, after fiddling with it on and off for a couple of years. On the whole: great! There are, as I' sure you know, still some things that need work. One of these seems to be the Table editor. The documentation is a bit sketchy, and I find myself having a very hard time editing a table that goes beyond the basics. I want to reproduce something like this: ---------> Presynaptic activity -----> low medium high Post- | | synaptic | | activity: | | no | no change | decrease low change | | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------- <--- post_thresh_lo | | | | | | \|/ no change | no change | no change medium | | | | | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------- <--- post_thresh_hi | | | | | | \|/ decrease | no change | increase high | | | | | | | | ^^^ ^^^ pre_thresh_lo pre_thresh_hi ...but make it look nice. The LyX fragment below is the best I've been able to do so far, and trying to set borders on all the cells just the way I want them is driving me crazy. It seems to me that when you click on a cell, the Table Layout window should change to reflect the state of that cell. If I'm just confused, please let me know. I think that the way to do this right (someday?) will be to have a different way of doing selection when editing tables (like the table editor in FrameMaker, maybe?). There needs to be a way of distinguishing between selecting a cell, selecting a row, selecting a column, and selecting text in a table. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions about how to make this work better, I'd love to hear them. For now, I guess I'm about to learn how to do tables in Latex. -Randy \begin_float tab \layout Standard \LyXTable multicol5 9 6 0 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 0 1 "" "" 8 0 0 "" "" 8 1 0 "" "" 8 1 1 "" "" 8 0 0 "" "" 8 1 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 0 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 0 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 0 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 0 1 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 0 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 1 8 0 0 0 0 0 "" "" 2 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" 0 8 1 0 0 0 0 "" "" \newline presynaptic activity \newline \newline postsynaptic activity \newline low \newline medium \newline high \newline \newline low \newline no change \newline no change \newline decrease \newline \newline \newline \newline \newline \newline post_thresh_low \newline medium \newline no change \newline no change \newline no change \newline \newline \newline \newline \newline \newline post_thresh_high \newline high \newline decrease \newline no change \newline increase \newline \newline \newline \newline \newline \newline \newline \newline pre_thresh_low \newline pre_thresh_high \newline \end_float -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.
