Linebreak in tables
Hello, Iam using Lyx-1.1.6fix4 and trying to layout my longtable (without a float).I want to break lines in all cells of my table. As it is said in the docs you have to launch the dialog on tables and define the width of a column and text will automatically layouted as wanted. So I insert a 10cm to invoke linebreaking but nothing happens!? Everytime I come back to tables dialog the inserted 10cm has disappeared. Differently to Lyx-1.1.6fix3 (where there was obviously an option for linebreak within table cells as I remember)I miss/couldn't find this option in Lyx-1.1.6fix4. So my questions : 1. is the linebreak-option definitely gone? (at least where to find it?) 2. how to manage linebreaks in tables in Lyx-1.1.6fix4 generally? 3. Any idea why the inserted width of 10cm in tables dialog diseappears repeatedly? cheers Thomas

I had this problem also in 1.1.6fix2, ~fix3. The behaviour of the popup dialog is a little bit odd. If I remember right, you need to TAB from the 10cm-field to another field to make the setting permanent (it will vanish if you just [save] after inserting the fixed width). The next oddity is, that linebreaks with Ctrl-Enter will just change the Look-On-Screen (again, if I remember right) and not go to the output. while the autmatic line-wrapping occures only in the dvi output.

Hello, Iam using Lyx-1.1.6fix4 and trying to layout my "longtable" (without a float).I want to break lines in all cells of my table.
