Disclaimer: I'm no LaTeX expert and I've found mini-pages annoying in LyX. Assuming you want "aaa" and "AAAAAA" to be different paragraphs try something like this: aaa minipage, width~30, centered AAAAA minipage, width~30 bbb minipage, new-minipage, width~70, centered BBBBB minipage, width~70 ccc minipage, new-minipage, width~20, centered CCCCC minipage, width~20 ddd minipage, new-minipage, width~30, centered DDDDD minipage, width~30 eee minipage, new-minipage, width~50, centered EEEEE minipage, width~50 I found the easiest way to get separation between the "AAA BBB" and the "ccc ddd eee" lines was to stick a non-minipage paragraph with a single non-breaking space it it. It's a hack but it worked for me, it also makes sure "ccc" starts on a new line in case you muck with the widths and width(aaa)+width(bbb) < 100%. If "aaa" and "AAAAA" are to be one paragraph it should be even easier, just use Ctrl+Enter for line breaks. See the attached LyX file. -- Dave Chapeskie OpenPGP Key KeyId: 3D2B6B34
