I have tried doing this using a Maths environment, but I could never convince it to work... It can be done with math: 1. Control+M to start math 2. insert delimiters from the math panel, this brings up a dialog. 3. Select } as the right delimiter, and blank as the left delimiter. (Your example didn't want a left brace.) 4. Insert this. 5. Now you want three lines, so insert a 1x3 matrix inside the brace. Make sure you select the correct alignment. c for centering is default, maybe you want r for right or l for left instead. 6. Now you have three lines to write blah on. Those lines are math, but it is possible to change the font so that the final output looks just like text. (This text-in-math mode is somewhat limited. It looks ok, but I don't think you can have multiple paragraphs, tables and so on there.) I tried this in the lyx-1.4 prerelease, and crashed it. There are clearly reasons why it isn't released. Lyx 1.3 should fare better. Helge Hafting
