Hi,
I'm using Lyx 1.5.3 on a Mac, with Mac OS X version 10.4.11.
I have a table inside a float, and the word "Measure" on the table looks
aligned in Lyx,
but when I compile into pdf it moves up. I haven't been able to fix its
alignment. Here is the Lyx
file. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Paulina
If you turn off centering in each of the other cells in that row,
"Measure" will align correctly, and all the titles will be centered in
the output (but not in the GUI). The problem is that when you set fixed
widths for the other columns, you also specified that they be centered.
LyX correctly recorded that, and LaTeX will in fact center them
(including the heading cells), but LyX displays the headings with
default alignment. I suspect that caused you to manually center all but
"Measure", which led LyX to add redundant centering. So, for instance,
"20" became
\begin{center}\textbf{\small 20}}\par\end{center}
and so on. The problem is that the begin/end environment stuff adds
some vertical space, which does not happen in the "Measure" cell. You
cannot add the center stuff to the "Measure" cell, but you can remove it
from the other cells (if you are will to tolerate incorrect alignment in
the GUI).
