I'm new to Lyx. I use MS Word (under duress), and for long documents have
used FrameMaker. I'm currently using Lyx to create math worksheets and quizzes.
1. So far to get several problems evenly spaced across a page, I have had
to create a table, set each column to a fixed width, and insert an equation into each
cell. Is this the best way to do this? Attempts to use either the Eqn Array
environment, or the array environment
produced stuff that was too close together, and would not align vertically if I had
multiple rows.
2. After reading the section on nesting, I'll admit I'm a bit confused.
After a couple more passes at it I'll come up with a detailed statement of
my confusion, but for now:
If I have a table full of equations, how can I number the individual equations
at a specified level: E.g. Part A has 8 problems. The first 3 have 6 examples each.
So I want Section I
1. Instructions for this set of 6 problems.
Table of equations 3 columns by 2 rows.
a equation box b equation box c equation box
d equation box e equation box f equaiton box
2 Instructions for a new set of problems
a equation box b equation box c equation box
d equation box e equation box f equaiton box
...
I've not yet figured out how to:
A. Put the equation numbering on the left instead of the right.
(probably an ERT...)
B. Setting a nest level so that renumbering continues within
a table but not outside of a table.
I get this feeling that I'm using the wrong tool for the task. But this is normal
when learning a new tool.
3. I've got table cells that when I right click on them, either or both
of the align vertically or align horizontally are greyed out.. Other cells
in the same table are not. What's up?
