Something like this ? If yes, what you need is - \usepackage{colortbl} in preamble - |>{\columncolor[gray]{.8}}l| in table->extra-options->special alignment or whatever the names in your current language. NOTEs : - As you want to change only a few lines, you have to use the multicol options and alignement, and then "manually" manage your borders. ( I never obtain "perfect" result in less than half-an-hour :-)) ) - my example is with lyx 1.1.5. Tables handling changed with 1.1.6, so you may be in trouble reading the file (I didn't test, because I have a lot of files with tables which must be frozen before I switch. Can somebody tell me if there is any problem/solution to switch from 1.1.5 to 1.1.6 ? ). Hope this help. Alain On Fri, 2 Feb 2001, R.
