Dealing with the look of many tables
I'm moving a huge number of tables into lyx. These tables are mostly normal with a row header, sometimes with a column header. A few have special background shading in the header to separate visually the type of the data. I've read the embedded objects guide and find it astonishing that to deal with all the tables I would have to go one by one carefully modifying each table's cell background and font style (usually bold). I was expecting that lyx (or latex) would have something similar to html css style sheets were you could specify first row and column are headers, rest are normal, and somewhere in the preamble specify how to make these headers look without having to deal with each table and cell on a one by one basis. Is this mass style tweaking possible? Right now I've imported an RTF document with the tables and each has a lot of ERT which will be painful to change later.

Maybe this guides you in the right direction.

Reporting bugs of macosx binary builds
I've started working with lyx 1.6.2 under macosx, and sometimes the application crashes randomly. I've been unable to reproduce these crashes, but when I open macosx' bug report window there is a stack trace with the C++ code calls that happened before the crash. I was wondering if this information is useful to somebody, since I read on the lyx' website that unreproducible bugs are ignored.

Generally LyX is quite OK on speed, but one specific instance where it gets slow---regarding the responsiveness of the UI---is when tables are used in the document (if of use, I could send certain of my files off-list). As soon as tables are inserted, especially longer tables or several smaller ones, the user interface becomes slow (mostly?) on the parts of the document where the tables are present. Happens also for me under Macosx. I thought that was normal, so I solved the problem putting each table in a separate file that is inserted into the main document as an external file reference.
Floating wrapper figure with image drawn out of page
I'm usiing Lyx 1.6.2 under Macosx to put a floating wrapped figure with a .tiff image inside a framed box. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but the image is being placed near the bottom of the page so that it is half drawn outside, and the next page also contains the space reserved for the float, but with no image. Difficult to explain, so here's the test case and generated pdf: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/145894/floating.lyx http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/145894/floating.pdf Any ideas on what could I do?
