I removed now the second sentence since 90% of the LyX users won't
understand the difference between a LaTeX-command and LaTeX-environment.
Don't you think it is worth to introduce this concept to LyX users? I
think that many people, like me, are using LyX not only as WYSIWYM
editor, but also as an entry point to the LaTeX ecosystem. I've found
this document quite useful to better understand what are we speaking
about...

Another solution is to defined a new command that sets up the box
for you. Then you would have to
insert this command as TeX-code instead of a box. I can define such
a command for you, but you
need to decide what box you want to have. If you made this decision,
send me a LyX file with your
box and I'll have a look.
I don't want anything fancy. Simply, something like that:
http://ebiotic.net/bin/download/ICT/LyXBox/dummyTextMargins.pdf
Box has the same width as the text column and it is centred with it.
Here the source file...
http://ebiotic.net/bin/download/ICT/LyXBox/dummyTextMargins.lyx
In your example the box has a width of only 95% not 100%. However, I
defined a command for your box in the preamble of the attached
document. You can insert then your custom box by inserting the
TeX-code command \mybox as I have shown in the example.
Great! Thank you so much. I've learnt a lot with this example. In
general, I must thank all the people answering here. You always provide
accurate and clear answers!
What I don't understand here is the however. Please, what do you mean?
I see {0.95\columnwidth}, so I guess this is the parameter I must tweak
to reach this result.
Simply: a great universe of possibilities! Thanks!
BTW: I get two errors when opening the document the first time after
saving it from your email:
Document header error
Unknown token: \use_refstyle \use_refstyle
Document header error

They disappear once I locally save the document.
Please, where these errors come from? Thanks!

You said that you box should have the width of the text. This means you
must set 1\columnwidth but your example you used 95% width which is
0.95\columnwidth.

This was a bug in the alpha 6 release. This has been fixed. Therefore:
Don't use LyX 2.0 for anything else than testing.

Configuration is to configure LyX#s defaults, look and feel, etc. This is independent of your text features. OK! I got the point! Thanks. As for this doubt, please have a look at this simple file generated using article Document class. http://xen.net/onLyX/dummyTextMargins.pdf http://xen.net/onLyX/dummyTextMargins.lyx What I want to control in this file, is the margins of the box: I would like that it is aligned with the previous paragraph: same margin on the left, same margin on the right. Then turn off the paragraph indentation. (Set the cursor in front of the box and use the paragraph settings menu. There uncheck the open Indent Paragraph.) What I was doing was to put the cursor within the box or over the label. I got the point now. Thanks! Note that a box always has a border which is of course wider than the box content. The border can be visible or invisible. So when you want to have the same overall width for the box than for the text column, you need to decrease its with to e.g. 98 column%. Please nevertheless have a look at the box chapter in the EmbeddedObjects manual to learn more about the box handling. The same with the text within the box. Use a parbox as inner box. You can then edit the box text like any other text. Sorry, I don't understand this.

Configuration is to configure LyX#s defaults, look and feel, etc. This is independent of your text features. OK! I got the point! Thanks. As for this doubt, please have a look at this simple file generated using article Document class. http://xen.net/onLyX/dummyTextMargins.pdf http://xen.net/onLyX/dummyTextMargins.lyx What I want to control in this file, is the margins of the box: I would like that it is aligned with the previous paragraph: same margin on the left, same margin on the right. Then turn off the paragraph indentation. (Set the cursor in front of the box and use the paragraph settings menu. There uncheck the open Indent Paragraph.) What I was doing was to put the cursor within the box or over the label. I got the point now. Thanks! Note that a box always has a border which is of course wider than the box content. The border can be visible or invisible. So when you want to have the same overall width for the box than for the text column, you need to decrease its with to e.g. 98 column%. Please nevertheless have a look at the box chapter in the EmbeddedObjects manual to learn more about the box handling. The same with the text within the box. Use a parbox as inner box. You can then edit the box text like any other text. Sorry, I don't understand this. What I read in the Embedded Objects manual is: Parboxes are very similar to minipages with the difference that they cannot have footnotes. The main difference to minipages is that minipages are in contrary to parboxes no real boxes but LaTeX-environments. Gosh! I am not able to understand this! Please, why I can edit the text in a parbox as any other text and the one in a Minipage, not? Is it because being a LaTeX-environment, text in a MiniPage doesn't answer to LyX commands? Attached is a LyX example file. regards Uwe Now I am able to set the paragraph settings for each box in a per box basis. Please, is it possible to set this features document wide? Thanks!
