LyX 1.5.6, MacOSX
Hi,
I have a (big and complicated) table which I need to extend by an
additional column on the left side (the new column is to become the
first column of the table). As far as I have figured out, the "Add
column" button always inserts the new column right of the current one.
I know that I could just add the column on the right side and then use
copy&paste to move the content from the current first column to the
new one. Unfortunately, multicolumn settings do not survive such
action in LyX and many cells from the current first column span
multiple columns. Hence, I would have to manually restore multicolumn
settings, cell by cell.
Is there a better trick?
I don't know of such a trick. But you should definitely post this to
bugzilla. Certainly LyX should allow doing this directly.
