I have no idea what the blue arrows going in several directions are supposed to mean. There's no documentation that really explains it. Looked at the document in LyX in DVI in PDF and still no joy. Re: Insert->Formatting->Ragged - it doesn't allow me to do that in that cell, the command is greyed out. Also I was told \newline is the right trigger. I have read that chapter in embedded objects several times and tried all manner of things. Have googled and tried much else trying to get this done and now am getting more confused than ever. I feel - possibly incorrectly - that I have to create the table either in the float environment or I have to "set" the table column widths to make any command at all work, and then possibly, just possibly, Ctrl+Enter will make the new line anyway. Next thing to try. Thanks for your help. I can usually do most things with LyX, but always found tables a problem, and will go back to creating the table in OpenOffice if I can't get this working. There it's simple. :-) or simpler.
