Hi all

I am writhing a questionnaire in Lyx 1.4.1 on Win XP. The whole thing is
one gigantic table.

I experience very strange effects with the alignment of text both
vertically and horizontally

1. Text in adjacent columns are not aligned even when both are set at
the same vertical alignment. This happens not only but especially when a 
ctr-enter  was used.


2. Multicolunm the cells above and below to disregard their column width
settings

3. Horizontal alignment is not the same for rows either. Sometimes the 
text begins with an indent, sometimes not


4. Setting the column with sometimes does not set the width of the
column but the width of the text within . this is the case
in multicolumns. The problem is that there is no control over the
width of a column when one cell is also part of a multicolumn

Can anyone help

It might be best if you posted a minimal example of the problem.
