Columns (center aligned) is different -- it does not seem to accept options. As far as I can tell, Columns (center aligned) is functionally the same as Columns (both center things vertically), so Columns with the width argument should work for you. You can also add other options in ERT. For instance, Columns with [b,totalwidth=60mm] in ERT will bottom-align the columns while setting the combined width. Paul
Re: "Columns" in Beamer Lyx
I just tried it and I cannot get it to work. All that happens is that the text "[totalwidth=50mm]" shows up in the 1st column. Yes I entered it in TeX mode, right after where it says "Columns (center aligned)" in red. On 3/15/2012 4:42 PM, Paul A.

It does. You just have to enter it as raw TeX (Insert> TeX Code or Ctrl-L), in square bracket, as in[totalwidth=50mm]. Or for that matter the Column command requires you to give an absolute width for the column and doesnt allow a relative spec like 0.5\textwidth. Relative widths work. Again, enter them as raw TeX (but this time without the square brackets). Paul

"Columns" in Beamer Lyx
I'm wondering if there's a reason the Lyx version of the Columns command doesn't allow you to specify an overall width the way the Latex Beamer version does? Or for that matter the Column command requires you to give an absolute width for the column and doesnt allow a relative spec like 0.5\textwidth.
