Hi, Is there a way by which I can get a \mathbf{x} to appear as it does in the final document (that is, bold x) in the LyX window itself? i.e., just like \alpha shows up as the symbol alpha in the LyX window, can \mathbf{x} show up as bold-x somehow? Thanks, nirmal

Select the entire table, then click Layout - Paragraph in the pull down menus and select 'Center' as the 'Alignment' option. Another way is to right click anywhere on the table and select the Longtable option in the Spec. Table section of the Tabular tab. This will automatically center it

I'm hardly a guru, but it sounds like the original questioner is inserting \input{myfile} as ERT. If so, I would not be surprised if LyX did not rerun LaTeX just because myfile.tex changed. As best I can surmise without searching the code, LyX just blindly copies ERT to the output file without
