Hi,
Thanks for your followup.

I have followed your instructions but I cannot get it to give the O/P I need.
I have attached a demo .lyx file to better illustrate the point. Do you have any
more suggestions?
Thanks again.
Tom.

The main problem with this equation is that the bracket sizes don't match
up.
The justification I could live with.
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula
\begin{eqnarray*}
r(w)= & & z+\exp \left[ -\int ^{b}_{a}\left( 2x-5y\right) \left\{
\frac{2}{5}P_{1}(t)\exp \left( -a\left( u_{y}-u_{x}\right) w\right) +\right. \right. \\
& & 6P_{1}(t)\exp \left( -au_{y}w\right) +\\
& & \left. \left. 3G_{2}(\tau )\exp \left( -a\left( u_{y}+u_{x}\right) w\right)
\right\} dt\right]
\end{eqnarray*}
\end_inset

Following your method (I think!) gives this which is not what I need --
the [{}] need to open on the first line of the matrixed-bit and close on
the 3rd line of the matrixed bit as the above equation does.
\layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula
\[
r(w)=z+\exp \left[ -\int ^{b}_{a}\left( 2x-5y\right) \left\{ \begin{array}{cc}
& \frac{2}{5}P_{1}(t)\exp \left( -a\left( u_{y}-u_{x}\right) w\right) +\\
& 6P_{1}(t)\exp \left( -au_{y}w\right) +\\
& 3G_{2}(\tau )\exp \left( -a\left( u_{y}+u_{x}\right) w\right)
\end{array}\right\} dt\right] \]
\end_inset
\the_end
