Hi,


I would like output from a set of descriptions to look like this:-



- -a This switch is the shortest;


- --longer This switch is longer, but the description starts at the
 same indentation as the previous one;


- --123 Same with this one.



Rather than:-


- -a This switch is the shortest;


- --longer This switch is longer, the description no longer starts at the
 same indentation as the previous one;


- --123 Same with this one;



Is there an easy way to do this other than using a borderless table? Using a 
table seems to defeat the whole elegant concept of using LyX!


TIA,

I suggest that you use the list environment instead and include in ERT the following staement right before the list:
\setlength{2 in}


you can then play with the length to suit your needs
