Well that's because the new tabular code in 1.1.6 is not really finished. You can work with it but it has some drawbacks (memory consumtion is one of them!) and the above mess probably another one. We don't yet get all updates right, but you'll see if you set the width afterwards, exit reenter the file the mess should be gone ;) Jürgen -- -._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._ 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 -._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._-._ If only God would give me some clear sign!

One important thing to take into account is that in order to obtain full paragraph support, it is necessary to set the column width before to write any text. So first set the with of the columns and then write the text. If ones writes first and then sets the width it become a mess. Cheers Ramón

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!!!)
