In 1.1.6 there is no other simple and nice way. However, you can
a) use ERT: put
{\small
before the table and
}
behind
Thanks Guenter.. I like the one above... it works for my present problem which is that the table is too big (wide) to fit on the page so I wanted to change the sizes of all the entries including headings and make them smaller so that it would fit. Btw, is there a way of making the table extend into the left margin? (right now, it only goes into the right margin and beyond the page border so I'm hoping that if I can get it to extend into the left margin, then maybe it would stay within the page)
It would be nice to have a way of selecting multiple cells and changing the characteristics of the text like the font etc.. is this something on the agenda?
Thanks,
