\hdotsfor{''n''} []
Hello, I am trying to spread the ellipsis over many columns of a matrix... lyx shouts: The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined. Is there a specific miktex (mpm.exe) package I need to see installed? Rds,

Rds,
You need AMS math loaded. In LyX, go to Document Settings... Math
Options and check Use AMS math package.
Also, when you enter the command, be sure to start the braces with \{
rather than just {. If you literally type \hdotsfor{3}, say, what
you'll end up with in LaTeX is \hdotsfor\{3\}, escaping the braces, and
then LaTeX will complain about a missing or invalid numerical argument.
If you type \hdotsfor followed by \{, LyX will convert \{ to a matched
pair of braces with an input widget (rectangle) in between them, which
is what you want.
