It's been a long time since I've had to look into an issue like that. I was hoping that if I did build-dep on my machine I could give you the list of packages, but I just get: $ sudo apt-get build-dep lyx [sudo] password for scott: Reading package lists...

Thanks again Wolfgang Wolfgang, I'm a Mint user. I suggest you start in the Software Manager (which you can find in the Mint menu). Search for "Enchant" and, if not installed, install it there. (Using the software manager rather than Synaptic facilitates reinstalling software after a system upgrade.) Once Enchant is installed, select it as the spellchecker engine in the LyX preferences menu. Enchant is actually a wrapper. It will pick the first available spellchecker program from a prioritized list that you can customize. I have not customized it on my system. The default list is in the file /usr/share/enchant/enchant.ordering. In my case, the default ordering is myspell, then aspell, then ispell (of which only aspell is installed, so I guess that's what it uses). If you have more than one spellchecker installed, you can give different orderings for different languages. If you find you do not have all the languages you need, you can go back to the Software Manager and search for either "Hunspell" or "Myspell", then install dictionaries from there. I'm not exactly sure how Enchant finds the extra dictionaries, but it does. I have only the English aspell dictionary, but I have a bunch of Hunspell dictionaries (including German) and a few Myspell dictionaries (including Portuguese, though I have no idea why). I just tried typing a German sentence in a new LyX document, which defaulted to English. Enchant flagged every word as misspelled. As soon as I changed the document language to German, every word passed muster. So apparently Enchant was able to find the Hunspell German dictionary. Hope this helps, Paul

Riki's solution works as a two-step process. Using Insert -> Table specifying a 2-column x 20-row text file opened a new LyX tab with the data. At first I did not see the faint remnants of the table's turned off borders and thought it was a matrix without format.
