Hello Richard,

here is a sample attached. The ci(x) and the fj(x) should have the i resp.  
j as subcsripts, also inside the integral in the table. Neither the menu  
item nor the math symbols help...

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. But it is easy to put  
subscripts on subscripts. I always type _ (the LaTeX equivalent) to  
get subscripts. So you can type: b_k_x, and you will have something of  
this sort.


If this is not what you want, you might post a LyX file that is as close  
as you can get, and then explain what isn't right.

Hi Jens,

Thanks for sending an example file. That helps a lot to see what's
going on. The problem is that the stuff you want in subscripts is not
even in math mode. Please read the Introduction and the Tutorial in
the Help menu.

To get what you want, select everything in the first cell of your
table and do ctrl + M. Then select ci(x) and hit the underscore key.
Then select 'i' and hit the underscore key. Then 'j' and underscore
key. Note that when you are writing you don't have to write and then
select and hit the underscore key. You would just hit the underscore
key to start with and you would be in subscript mode.

Also note that if you are just trying to align equations, there are
better ways to do this. See Help  Math for this.

Best,

Scott

Thanks, Scott,

subscripting now works via selecting and hitting Shift+Underscore. The  
question is, why the menu item under Format is not enabled in that  
particular situation? That would be the intuitive way ...


Another question: is Shift+Underscore a shortcut for the menu item?

Greetings,
Jens

Only in math. In text, it produces an underscore.

Perhaps part of the lesson here is that there is a big math vs text 
difference in LyX, much as in OpenOffice and the like, which have an 
equation editor.
