Re: Re[2]: angstrom symbol in math mode
Sorry I think I wasn't clear in my earlier post
I did try the mbox function and it works fine.
I would like to figure out what the problem is with the math parser's
handling of the textrm function and possibly add something like \rho
or \pi for \AA to the math parser so that it is easier to use that symbol.
thanks again for everybody's help/interest!

Put the following line in the preamble
\newcommand{\mAA}{\mbox{\AA}}
in the preamble, and then use \mAA in math mode.
Perhaps a better solution is to put the following lines in the preamble
\let\oldAA=\AA
\renewcommand{\AA}{\ensuremath{\mbox{\oldAA}}}
and then you can use \AA in math mode.

I've just tried the mbox method (i must have missed it before)
this seems stable across saves and reopening
the saved version looks like this
\begin_inset Formula \( \Delta vol=\frac{4\pi }{3}\left(
r_{pH2}-r_{pH7}\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}\left( 17.87\mbox {\AA
}-16.03\mbox {\AA }\right) ^{3}=\frac{4\pi }{3}*6.263\mbox {\AA
}^{3}=26.24\mbox {\AA }^{3} \)
Well that puts my homework out the door but doesn't explain this textrm
problem (I think its save to say its a problem with textrm since the mbox
method works).
Thanks for the workaround!
I think my goal is now two fold
1) figure out what this textrm is all about and why it gets funky on save and
reopen
2) add something like \rho or \pi for \AA to the math mode so that we don't
have to enter another mode to get this symbol (and maybe others?)
Thanks again for all your kind help and suggestions for how to get this
working.

Did you already try \mbox{\AA}? It works fine here (lyx 1.1.6 on Linux)

This also happen with 1.1.6fix1 here.
However, if I use \mbox{\AA} instead of \textrm, everything works fine.
