Anyway this will not be possible anymore. The tabulars now scroll to the left if the text is too large to fit on the screen so you can edit it all the time (I admit there may be bugs in this code in 1.1.6fix3, but this should work correctly in 1.2.0 when it comes out!).

Nope :( But you can use a convertor fax (for example ksendfax is automatically put in as convertor if found on your machine).

In the new development version (upcoming 1.2.0) this is possible (however
we have to restict it a bit). It is not possible to put normal footnotes
in tabulars, try to check the longtable option on and then footnotes typed
as \footnote{My footnote} should work (in LaTex).

Would it help to put a fixed width for the columns? If you don't want that you should still be able to edit all of it as the text should scroll to the left. Maybe this is not perfect in 1.1.6, but this definitively works for the actual cvs version (I know this is of not much help to you).

I guess this is fixed in the cvs version and upcoming 1.2.0 (with a lot
of other stuff and enhancements to the whole tabular stuff)
BTW.: Could you write paragraps in the old tabular stuff? Could you change
the layouts of this tabulars? Could you automatically define a with
on a column and the text was automatically wraped around? Could you
scroll the tabular to one side if it was to large to fit on the screen?
(I could go on asking for more ;) IMO we have to live with small changes
to the user-interface if this permits us to do a lot more stuff for
advanced use of tabulars! I however admit that tabular stuff in 1.1.6
was not really finished, but it helped me A LOT to enhance and fix a
lot of stuff from User Feedback, which I could not have done with the
little feedback you get from Users and/or developers using the CVS
(development version)!

RE: bilingual tests in lyx
I do this using a 2 column tabular. In 1.1.6 this should be easily possible as there you have full paragraph support inside a cell. Oviously you should make a backup of your documents before doing this as the fileformat of 1.1.6 tabulars is completely different from versions before and you will not be able to go back to 1.1.5 if you find that 1.1.6 is not good enough for you!!!)

Many people are unenthusiastic about their work.
Some final words!
Dear All! Yesterday we had the last few hours of coding after one after the other had to catch the train at Bolzano train station and their plane/train to go home (well Andre used his car and should still be somewhere near ;). Saying goodbye is always a bit sad, but we had really nice and productive days together with the (more or less) promise that we will see us again next year in Portugal (yes Jose' we are taking you by the word ;) This year was the meeting with the most developers ever, and we even had the luck to have a LyX User present! Andre's girlfriend helped us out with debugging! Thanks Konni! :) We where also lucky we didn't have the dreaded out of beer syndrom as last year in Norway where we didn't calculate public holidays right, so we where always in the right mood to do some real good coding #:O) Well to tell you the truth I (Jürgen) didn't code that much this year. :( Unfortunately having a business and family in the same place put's some restrictions on the free time. I would have liked to code a lot more, but it seemed also important to attend my fellow developers in the right way so that at least they could concentrate on coding and I hope I did it right :) As proposed by a lot of you the focus of this years meeting was to resolve questions we need to release a 1.2.0 version soon. I really think we held to this and did our best to fix as much stuff as we could in the short time we had together. I have still some work open I couldn't finish and hope to commit this last stuff VERY soon (you'll be surprised ;) Jürgen (for all develpers and users who were present this year) -- -._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._ Dr. Jürgen VignaE-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Italienallee 13/N Tel/Fax: +39-0471-450260 / +39-0471-450253 I-39100 Bozen Web: http://www.sad.it/~jug -._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._ "The C Programming Language -- A language which combines the flexibility of assembly language with the power of assembly language."

Thanks for the good explanation. I did understand you wrong before.
I thought you said that in multicolumns one shouldn't use || at all.
The above should be quite easy to correct. I'll have a look and see if
I can correct this also in 1.1.6.

Yes and no. If you have a double vertical rule you need to use both of them.
But in general this is true, as this way you paint two rules one over the other

works fine,
but what shall I do to format the whole table to 100% of the
pagewidth, I tried the extra-column-option in both columns of my
table, but it didn't work :-(

Yes insert in the extra-column-options p{0.5\textwidth} this should do the
trick!

Maybe there is an easier solution. As you only want the headline in
another format, just select for the whole column the format you want
"Right" in your case, then select only the cell in the headline, select
the Multicolumn button and then reput the 25mm in the width box you'll
see that this is valid now only for this cell while all the rest remains
in the column-wide setting and it is also WYSIWYM ;)
Look at the modified example, maybe than it's easier for you to understand!

You'll see that in the new tabular-inset I already have a WYSIWYM view
of the tabular and you're also able to set paragraph layouts in there :)

Yes this may be convenient, but then I'm not able anymore to check the
User input and this is only a input a advanced LaTeX user can give and
for this you also can use the Extra options and give p{0.2\textwidth} as
column type and IMO this is enough.

What problems do you have? Maybe Jean-Marc can help you, he still compiles

I should disable the option when you've a longtable, just I didn't think of this. You have to think that sideways only does this for 1 page and longtable is made to break over more pages, so it does not have any sense to use a longtable in 90 degree mode!

Why not use a 1X1 tabular and put there a mathbox? Well yes it is displayed

Use a width for each cell and activate the "Linebreaks" button this puts
each cell in a parbox{} which then is vertically centered.

A virtual row is exactly that a row which you create by Ctrl-Return, and yes i is needed that you insert at least 1 character to create a new one. Pay attention that creating a row in one cell does visually create them also in the other cells but they are not there really until you do the Ctrl-Return also in that cell for all the virtual rows in the other cells of the same row. (a bit confusing but I hope you understand ;) this will all change in the upcoming new LyX version when we have tabular-insets the Ctrl-Return hack will vanish and the cell will break automatically in rows (as normal text does) if you set a lenght for that cell.

You let LaTeX do it as it wants and this is not left-aligned but it is "block" aligned, therefore the spaces you don't want! 2. You do it with the Linebreaks mechanism. This puts a \parbox in the cell and also puts \\ (linebreaks after each line) this gives you a left aligned paragraph wich breaks lines where you broke them in the cell (but attention it also breaks line if you have too long text in one row!) For 1. there is nothing to tell about it works as it is intended to work. For 2. you have to pay attention that in one tabular-row you have the same amount of virtual rows so you have to put at least a Ctrl-space as one char in EACH virtual row so that all has the same hight as otherwise the parbox centers vertically in the cell! Hope this helps you to understand better what's going on.
