 What if I change my mind? Is there any way to edit the Matrix?

 In particular, how do I change the horizontal alignment? For example, go
 from  to rrcc.


The way I do this is to go to view-toolbars-table. The alignment options
in the table toolbar work for matrices as well.

editing a matrix

Section 4 of the Lyx Detailed Math manual describes how to set a Matrix
characteristics when I create it.

What if I change my mind? Is there any way to edit the Matrix?

Certainly.  On an individual matrix, click on the column you want to 
change, then go to the Edit menu  Rows  Columns and change from center 
to right for the column where your cursor was.


If you have to do this for several matrices, what I would do would be to 
do a search and replace for the appropriate string on the *.lyx file, 
using an editor.  This is not the advised way, but it is quick when it 
works.  Before doing something like this, though, do make a backup copy 
of the file...
