I am using LyX1.5.4-1 on WinXP, with the Beamer document class.
When I select the style ColumnsTopAligned within a frame, Lyx inserts
\begin{topcolumns}%{}
\end{topcolumns}%{}
as can easily be checked with the View Source window.
However, it seems impossible to enter any text between these \begin{}
and \end{} statements.
If I simply hit Return on the line that says Columns (top aligned), then
try to style the next line with the Column style, Lyx takes me
completely outside the topcolumns environment, again as can be seen from
the View Source window.
I get the same problems with the ColumnsCenterAligned and the simple
Columns styles.
Am I missing something really obvious, or is this a bug with Lyx 1.5.4?
You're missing something ... whether it's really obvious or not is a
matter of opinion. :-)
First insert the Columns environment. Underneath that, insert a Column
environment and fill in the width (including units, e.g. 40mm). Now
nest the Column environment under the Columns environment (Edit ->
Increase List Depth or M-S-right or the tool button that looks like an
item list with a left-to-right arrow). Then type in whatever you want in
the column and nest it as well.
