Hello: Thanks to Matej, Thomas, and Herbert and others for answering my questions. However, I am still struggling with some of my original problems. Any other suggestions or remarks?
Concerning my second question: I would like to get rid of the default justification for text in a table column. Is there a way to do this without having to enter the \rightragged tex command in every single cell of the table? I would like to have my text \rightragged, but I cannot find a way to set the whole table (or even whole column) that way at once. Is there a global solution?, Matej wrote: >For your problem: try to highlight cells in the particular column and then set alignment in Layout/Tabular/Column-Row/H. Alignment.< This did not seem to work for me, or I dont understand. I want to get table text to be \rightragged, not horizontally centered. If I type in "\rightragged" in the alignment box of the table popup, it does not work. Any other ideas? Concerning my third question: Some rows of my table are intended to fall on two lines. One solution in the Lyx guide is to actually use two rows, but I don't want to do that. The other solution listed doesn't seem to work for me. It says to enter a "\\" at the needed text break and then check the "linebreaks" button on the table format popup. I cant find any "linebreaks" button. If I just type in "\\", it starts an entire new row from scratch, and does not just move the intended second line down below the intended first line in the column. Where is the linebreaks button, or what else am I doing wrong? Matej wrote: >Section 4.4.4 in your User Guide.< As per my original posting I have read this but it did not help. Concerning my fourth question: Is there an easy way to select text and then format it all in caps (not small caps, or whatever is listed in the character popup), or as title caps (first word capitalized)? Matej wrote: >Alt-C,<arrow-up>< That seems to work, but only for one word at a time. Concerning my fifth question: Is there any easy way to automatically have a table span exactly the width of the paper? I understand the tabularx package does not work with Lyx (or if it does I do not know how to use it). I would like to have the table fit the page, and then have certain columns larger or smaller than others. Matej wrote: >You can use \linewidth as a unit (so, .55\linewidth is a legal expression for the column width).< This did not seem to work for me. If I type in ".55\linewidth" in the width box of the table popup, it tells me that it is an invalid format. Herbert says it must be done manually by specifying the width in mm or similar units.
