Just insert a box (Insert > Box > Frameless) in the Uncover environment, 
put the text in it, and use the paragraph settings inside the box to 
center it. I've attached the result.

MiKTeX update (admin)

Thank you Uwe. I had read about the need for the proxy business and 
found that it worked. I work offline most of the time and my point in 
the original post was really about what packages are needed to compile 
the LyX docs. LyX's own list at Help > LaTeX Configuration and the 
yellow notes at the start of some of the LyX docs still leave out quite 
a number of packages needed for the docs to compile.

Re: LyX Spell Checker Sanity Check

 from http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=baed 

1.
baed 
The text adaptation of the awesome way garthog says "so bad"; first coined by 
Apple. 

The use of "baed" was popularized when some baed guildwars players including 
benson made a guild called "soo baed its epic 
" and got it to top 10. 
2
Baed 
The combined feeling of affirmation and guilt brought about when your partner 
compliments you just before you break up with them. The word is a portmanteau 
of the words 'bad' and 'bad'.
3.
Baed 
Being so in love with your bed that it literally becomes bae.

from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/BAEd 
 and 
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/BAEd
BAEd
abbr.
Bachelor of Arts in Education
from
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/baed 
baed
simple past tense and past participle of ba 


So the word seems to exist

The default on OSX is the native spell checker service of Apple. AFAIK it’s 
internally some hunspell-based spell checker engine. But, by using the OSX 
based service the learned words are not application specific. If a word was 
learned it’s possible to „unlearn“ it again with right mouse button menu.
