Rich,
This is much simpler and works for me (using linux):
- Create an empty table in Lyx with exactly the same number of rows and columns as what you have in your spreadsheet
- Open your spreadsheet (I use OpenOffice, but gnumeric works too)
- Copy the contents of your table (using ctrl-c)
- Go back to your table in Lyx. Put the cursor in the first cell, *before* (not in) the red entry-box
(Normally, if you click on a cell, a red entry-box appears for entering your data. You can then click to the left of this box to get at the entire cell)
- Then do 'Edit' / 'Paste external selection as lines' (C-M-V)
- Voilą
John
