There is also rccol (I am reading about it right now...). > How come you have a big table with too many decimals anyway? > I guess you didn't actually type in lots of unnecessary decimals, of course not! > is this table produced automatically somehow? Yes. Eigenvectors, result of a Principal Component Analysis derived (exported as csv) from R and imported in LyX, many tables. > Maybe it could > be produced with rounding from the start? Yes, it can. But I want to keep the values just in case... and I thought it would be less work to just round-up them up in LyX/LaTeX than produce another table from R. Maybe it isn't that easy after all. + (very important) I am keen to learn how this is to be done in LyX/LaTeX. Nikos
