You asked about the Columns environment before.  Columns (center aligned) is
different -- it does not seem to accept options.  As far as I can tell, Columns
(center aligned) is functionally the same as Columns (both center things
vertically), so Columns with the width argument should work for you.  You can
also add other options in ERT.  For instance, Columns with [b,totalwidth=60mm]
in ERT will bottom-align the columns while setting the combined width.

It does.  You just have to enter it as raw TeX (Insert  TeX Code or Ctrl-L), in
square bracket, as inERT[totalwidth=50mm]/ERT.


Or for that matter the Column command requires you to give
an absolute width for the column and doesnt allow a relative spec  like
0.5\textwidth.


Relative widths work.  Again, enter them as raw TeX (but this time without the
square brackets).
