Hi!
Even though a bit late, I would like to regain access to LyX use by
upgrading my installation to 2.0.0alpha6 and keeping track of old
pending issues! Please, accept my excuses for being so late and see below.

Use a parbox as inner box. You can then edit the box text like any

Sorry, I don't understand this. What I read in the Embedded Objects
manual is:
"Parboxes are very similar to minipages with the difference that they
cannot have footnotes. The main difference to minipages is that
minipages are in contrary to parboxes no real boxes but
LaTeX-environments."
Gosh! I am not able to understand this!
This is indeed horrible (and I'm the author of this). You can ignore
the last sentence and I will have a look to make the difference more
clear to new LyX users.
As far as I see, the paragraph keeps the same in the last alpha6
release. Could I be of any help to clarify this text?
Please, why I can edit the text
in a parbox as any other text and the one in a Minipage, not?
You can in both cases edit the text like any other text. I only
propose to use a parbox here because minipages make in some special
cases problems (when other LaTeX-packages don't support them). But
these cases are very rare, so it's your decision what inner box you
are using.
Sorry that I bothered you with LaTeX internals.
Thanks! It is great for me that you give me as much information as
possible! The only problem with that is that I will come back here with
more and more questions! Well, in fact, I am not able to figure out a
way of avoiding that... :-)
Now I am able to set the paragraph settings for each box in a per box
basis. Please, is it possible to set this features document wide?
Thanks!
Not via LyX. You can either copy a box as you like it to all places in
your LyX document.
Another solution is to defined a new command that sets up the box for
you. Then you would have to insert this command as TeX-code instead of
a box. I can define such a command for you, but you need to decide
what box you want to have. If you made this decision, send me a LyX
file with your box and I'll have a look.

That would be great! Your help would be really welcome.
I don't want anything fancy. Simply, something like that:

Box has the same width as the text column and it is centred with it.
Here the source file...

Thanks!
All the best,
Ricardo
