Thanks for the hint, Uwe. But I couln't find the solution for my problem.
Parting line means separator or stripline or dividing rule (said LEO Online Dictionary I asked), in German it's "Trennlinie". I need just 2 long vertical lines which separate the 3 (multicol-)columns in my table float.

Maybe I have to give more details: I 've put a mixture of text and tables into the 3 columns in my table float. So I am not able to use only the vertical lines of the table(s) to separate the 3 columns. (And multicol's advantage is to balance the 3 columns perfectly).

Multicol produces a parting line with \setlength\columnseprule{1pt}. It works fine if put it in standard environment, but it doesn't work if I put it in a float or minipage.

Regards
Detlev

What do you mean with parting line?

Attached is a LyX-file with some examples.
For more informations about tables in LyX, have a look at the Extended-Insets manual:

Hi,

I would like to have a table float with 3 columns separated by a parting line. I tried with the package multicol but I can't get the parting line. If I don't put my table in a float it's no problem to get the parting line. What's the mistake? Can I use multicol? (I would like to keep the float environment and the multicol package.)

What I like to have:

 Table 1: Caption name
text text | text text | text text
text text | text text | text text
text text | text text | text text

What I get:

 Table 1: Caption name
text text  text text  text text
text text  text text  text text
text text  text text  text text

Thanks in advance!
Detlev
