Thanks for the advice on \mathrm, equations look much better with it. In regard to the ams multiline, when I use it in the two column format my equations then get rather messed up. The first half of the equation is left justified while the second half is right justified. The whole equation (both parts) should be centered (exactly how it looks in LyX when in math mode). I have tried to set the justification to center but it appears to have no effect. See my new minimal example. -Steve
