Your suggestion worked perfectly, well almost perfectly. Attached is a
sample LyX file containing a table using your trick. It works perfectly for
the numbers in the table. I disabled the trick for the 1st row by making
each a multicolumn cell and manually changing the column alignment to "c"
instead of "C". This works fine except that it doesn't recognize the borders
I have also chosen. I want the 1st column to have the same borders as the
rest of the table but am unable to get it to work. This appears to be either
a problem with multicolumn or my understanding of its use.
Anymore sage advice to remedy this problem?
Thanks for your help,
Kevin
