I want to use cell 2 and 3 of the uppermost row of a table without a border for a common heading), but the cells below this header in column 2 and 3 should be separated. I have tried to follow the descriptions in the documents, but I can't get it work. It always takes off the border between the cells below too, whether I mark the cell 2 and 3 of the first row as multicolumn or whether I remove the corrersponding border. How can I restict removal of just one border in a cell to this cell? There must be a simple trick which I haven't grasped. Could somebody help? I include the table as a .lyx sample (`no magnet' should cover cell 2 and 3, same with `magnet'). Thanks!
