Yes, I know it. Unfortunately it does *exactly not* solve my problem :-) excel2latex converts structure and content of a table, but not the layout details -- which are the issue. While I know how to build some table in LyX/LaTeX, I get frequently frustrated when I have to tweak and optimize the layout (individual cell width, border styles, inner-cell margins, fonts, ...) Nevertheless, excel2latex is quite useful if you are doing your calculations in Excel anyway, have to export large tables, and do not care about the formatting. Daniel
