1) I need to use Greek letters (for example capital Omega for Ohm) outside formulae,
within plain text. Of course I can use the "math pad" to insert them, but
looking at the generated code, it reads:
\begin_inset Formula $\Omega$
\end_inset
so I suspect I am doing something wrong, since I actually do not want a formula
there (containing a single Greek character) but only a single Greek character.
What is the correct way to do so?
There are two ways:
1. the procedure you already used (type \Omega within a formula)
2. add the line
\usepackage{textcomp}
to your document preamble and then use the command \textohm in ERT
We're working to implement that you can insert this character directly, using for example a special
keyboard layout or a shortcut, have a look at bug 1116:
