Can anybody help me out how to do that in LaTex (example code)? I am
currently still using LaTex, not Lyx...
\begin{tabular}{p{3cm}c}
... table contents ...
\end{tabular}
creates a two column table and sets the first column's width to 3cm (and
justifies the text). To center the text, change the first line to
\begin{tabular}{>{\centering}p{3cm}c}
(use \raggedleft or \raggedright in lieu of \centering for other
alignments).
Incidentally, an easy way to discover this, assuming you have LyX
installed, is to start a new document in LyX, insert a table, tinker
with it using the LyX table dialogs and then use View -> View Source to
see what it looks like in LaTeX.
