1. Type it as normal text in your paragraph.
2. Mark it and press Ctrl-M to convert to Math
3. Repeat (mark and Ctrl-M) to convert to Text-in-Math.

Re: How to enter text in math mode?
If I understood you correctly, this is very easy.
press control-M and then control-M again. When you want to return to math
in the same math box, just do space.

Dear readers of this list,
I am using LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy) to write down some
chemistry. I found the following hint in the LyX Wiki on using the LaTeX
package mhchem in LyX math mode in order to preview the formulas on
screen:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting
formulae)
However, I am unable to reproduce the example mhchem.lyx given on that
internet site: When I type Ctrl-m Ctrl-m in order to get into text in
math mode, I end up in an mbox, and as soon as I enter a space after H+
to write something like this into that mbox: \ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}, the
cursor jumps out of the box. So I can only type single compounds, but no
reactions.
If I type Ctrl-m to enter math mode and then press Ctrl-l to enter ERT
\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}} the cursor also jumps out of the text-box
as soon as I enter a space after H+. Again, as a result, only single
compounds are possible with preview.
The LaTeX amsmath-package is available and checked in LyX document
settings. It is possible to enter pure ERT like $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}}$ and get it typeset by LyX/LaTeX, but then I have no preview.
So my question: How do I enter something like \text{\ce{H+ + OH- =
H2O}} in math mode?
Thanks for helpful hints
Yours sincerely

Dear Erez,
thank you for your quick reply. I am afraid it is not that simple,
because what you suggested is just what I try to do with the following:
\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}
\ce{...} is a macro of the mhchem package.
So be so kind and tell me if you can do Ctrl-m Ctrl-m and type in the
macro mentioned above without the cursor jumping out of the mbox when
entering a space.
I can do what you said with simple text, but not with the macro above. I
am using. If it works for you, do you use LyX 1.5.5, perhaps on Ubuntu
8.04?
Yours Tobias Hilbricht

Dear Erez,
I probably was not clear enough.
mhchem is a LaTeX package to write chemical compounds and reactions. \ce
is a macro of mhchem, so you have call for mhchem in LyX under Document
- Settings - Preamble.
I would like to enter mhchem macros in math mode rather than in plain
ERT, because then I have a preview. Somebody published in the LyX wiki a
little HowTo and an example file mhchem.lyx:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXForX (see the point Chemistry - Typesetting

If you open mhchem.lyx with a plain text editor then that somebody
managed to get this line into *mhchem.lyx*:
\begin_inset Formula $\text{\ce{H+ + OH- = H2O}}$
I can open mhchem.lyx with LyX and see a preview of the reaction. I can
copy and paste it in LyX and see a preview. But I cannot reproduce
typing this in with LyX 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to know if I
miss something, if it is a bug or a regression (perhaps it did work only
with older versions?).
I hope I could point out my problem?!

I think I don't really understand what equation you are trying to put

(Tested with LyX 1.6.0 on Debian. AFAIK, this worked also in 1.5.
In earlier Versions, the trick is to drag and drop the LaTeX-math expression
with the mouse in a math box.)
BTW: 1.6.0 on Debian also allows entering spaces in Text-in-Math and
you leaves this mode with right arrow. Maybe upgrading to 1.5.7 helps
(if 1.6.0 is not an option).
