Paul, Thanks for reminding me that's how it's done. I thought it was using the multicolumn environment but I had forgotten to apply it to each column header cell. Much appreciated, Rich

Rich To muck with the alignment of a single cell, park the cursor in the cell, right-click, select "Columns/Rows" and mark the cell Multicolumn. Then right-click again and change the alignment.

I think this can be sussed out of the description of multicolumn cells in the Embedded Objects manual, but I don't think it's all that easy to find if you don't know where to look. Paul

In each header cell I precede the label with \centering{ and follow it
with }. I thought there was a way to do this within LyX's table environment.

Table cell alignment
How can I adjust the vertical alignment of the contents of table cells? I can't get the relevant bits of dialog box not to be grayed out, and I'm can't work out what tweaks to make to an exported LaTeX file to get the right effect. -- Mark
