Do try to get hold of this book, I'm sure your Institute will have a copy
in the Library. If they don't they should!

This is the text you are going to put in the box,
\latex latex
\backslash
footnote{
\latex default
btw, it's called a minipage
\latex latex
}
\latex default
which, in this case, is 7 centimetres wide.
The text can go on and on and you can alter the width of the box to whatever
you want by changing the number,
\latex latex
\backslash
footnote{
\latex default
currently set at 7cm
\latex latex
}

in the second

In order to center the
\latex latex
\backslash
begin{tt}
\latex default
boxedminipage
\latex latex
\backslash
end{tt}
\latex default
it seems that you have to set up a centered environment in raw
\latex latex
\backslash
LaTeX
\latex default
, using the `center' button in the Layout->Paragraph menu mouse click sequence
doesn't seem to work properly.
