However, this approach does not work if multiple columns are selected. It places double lines and changes the width of the last column. It is clearly a bug to me. Wonder if anybody else observe the same thing.

I'm not sure it's a bug, though. The column width change applies to the column in which the cursor is positioned, regardless of what is highlighted. As for the lines, bear in mind that clicking OK or Apply applies the information in all three tabs of the dialog to the selected portion of the table, where applicable. In particular, the Borders tab will show the borders set for the cell in which the cursor is position, and those borders will be assigned to the highlighted cells. Try it with the cursor in a column other than the last one to see the effect of this. Paul ------------------------ Thanks for your reply Paul. This is the case if I want to adjust the width of multiple columns (or all columns). In the current LyX, if you want to do that you need to do it for each column one-by-one. This gets time-consuming, since most of the time, you need to do this many times to get the right width. Intuitively, I would expect that if I select multiple columns and set the width, all the selected columns will have the same width. On the other hand, I got your point. The GUI is prepared for the parameters of “tabular” of LaTeX, and it is not for the general purpose of table (like MS Word). Addition of GUI tab that can adjust tablewide properties or properties of the selected items may be a useful thing… Thanks again.
