Best guess, what you were doing didn't hit a known trigger. You could file a bug report. I don't know enough LaTeX to know if there is a fairly concise set of conditions under which it is obvious that array is needed (or whether it is safe to say that any time the user futzes with optional commands for columns, array should be loaded).

yes it does. Thanks!
Funny that whatever latex processor Lyx is calling doesn't stumble on this.

Does adding \usepackage{array} to the preamble cure it?

strange error with tabular
Hello I generated latex from my lyx file and then seperately compile it (in
order to use a particular document class not part of the lyx distribution).
Normally there's no problem, but when I adjust the widths of columns in my
table in Lyx, and then compile the generated latex, I get the following
error message from latex:
! Use of \@array doesn't match its definition.
\new@ifnextchar ...served@d = #1\def \reserved@a {
#2}\def \reserved@b
{#3}\f...
l.1275 ...{\centering}p{1in}|>{\centering}p{1in}|}
?
The offending line is:
\begin{tabular}{|c|>{\centering}p{1in}|>{\centering}p{1in}|>{\centering}p{1in}|>{\centering}p{1in}|}
Incidentally, not adjusting the column widths generates the following latex
which compiles fine:
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
Any ideas?
