And what I said is that I did not ask for a text box. I don't really care if Lyx chooses to insert one if thats what it thinks it takes to get the job done so long as it doesn't choke and die over it. Its just a basic principle of good UI deisgn. I have no control over what goes into something that I didn't ask for.

If there is a bug in > LyX it should be fixed, but it can't be fixed if nobody knows about it. I already did. But here it is again - insert a display or eqnarray or an align or any enclosing math formula. Add an extra row. In the element where you want a split, increase the environment depth (C-Right), insert a multline. Use the M-m w i command to add extra rows to it. It all looks OK on the screen but when you try tdo dvi it, you get the error I mentioned. > > No matter. I think I figured out a way. You have to use a split > > environment inside the eqnarray.

You can add columns and rows as usual with M-m c i and > M-m w i. Right, just like I said! Insert a Tex command. Unf. split is not quite what I want either b/c it justifies each row. What I want is a multiline, which nicely left justifies the first row, centers the middle one, and right justifies the last, but if your information is correct, it isn't possible to insert a multiline inside another formula. So I'm still not particularly happy :-( cheers > > Georg > >
