You may find it useful to try what I do normally. 1. open your xls file with gnumeric or open office. 2. Select the requisite number of columns and rows 3. Come back to your lyx document 4. Insert a table which has at least the selected number of rows and columns 5. Go to the cell on your lyx table where you want the top left corner of the section to be placed. 6. Click the middle button on your mouse. That should be it. The experts tell me this should not work but unfortunately for the theory, it does for me. samar -- samar j. singh bangalore
