Hi
I am trying to set the width of a column in a table, but no matter what I do,
it refuses to work.
I think I have followed the instructions in the manual, trying repeatedly with
the menu Edit>Table Settings or right-clicking within the column and setting
the Width to the required value, and also entering 'p' in the Latex code
field. Every time I close the dialoge box and open it up again the settings
have disappeared.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Help would be very much appreciated.
I am using LyX 1.4.2.
I don't recall it being necessary to enter the 'p'. Are you specifying
units (e.g., 20ex or 5mm)?
Somewhere around version 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 I ran into a problem where LyX
would not remember clipping regions on figures unless they were
integers. I don't recall that happening with tables, but maybe I never
tried fractional values. So I suppose it's worth asking whether you're
setting an integer width?
Also, I can advocate an upgrade to at least 1.4.4 (which is stable and
works well).
