    I use LyX 2.3.3 on 64bit Windows 10, latest version.

    I have a floating table with 3 columns. In the first column, I
    have a figure, in the second column I need to rows of equations,
    and in the third column, I have a text line:

    To get two rows of equations in a sigle table cell, I inserted a
    2x1 table within the cell, and inserted a single-line equation in
    each sub cell. [If I instead insert a multiline equation in the
    cell, LyX preview crashes.]

    My main problem is that I find it “ugly” that the three columns in
    the row (figure, two lines of equations, and text line] don’t
    align up well, horizontally.  I have tried to choose the row
    containing the cylinder, the equations (Jz = ½*m..., Jx = Jy =
    ...), and the text (“Hollow cylinder...”), and select, say, top
    alignment, or centered alignment, but those icons/choices are
    disabled.

    Is there a way to control the horizontal alignment?

    Thanks.

Without a MWE on which to experiment, it's hard to be certain. A 
couple of possibilities come to mind. One is to replace the 2x1 inner 
table with a multiline math formula (such as a "gathered" 
environment). Another is to click in a cell in the first column¸ click 
Edit > Table Settings (or right click and do the equivalent), set a 
fixed width for the first column and a vertical alignment of "Middle" 
in the column settings dialog.

I have attached a minimal LyX document with the *.svg file that I use. 
In the figure path of LyX, I have put the figure in a subdirectory 
“figs” – which can easily be changed.



I’ve tested a bit more, and it is the insertion of the **figure** that 
causes the problem. My “trick” of getting multiline math by inserting 
a table within a table cell works fine.


So: is it possible to vertically center the figure at the insertion point?

What I proposed above works. Put the cursor in the "Geometry" cell, 
right click, select Settings..., and in the Column settings section of 
the Table Settings tab set a fixed width for the column. That enables 
the Vertical alignment control, which you set to Middle. You might want 
to horizontally center as well; that's up to you.

I've attached a modified version of the MWE.
