Exactly! I sure don't want wysiwyg which, in my view, is for people
who want a glorified type

I cannot answer your question directly but I can suggest two
alternative approaches to this: use tabular instead of array or use
the align or align* environment.
hope this helps,

No, please no! Tooltips et al. imply the use of the mouse.

It may be uncommon but it's definitely one of the key reasons I gave
up on OOo (despite wanting to like it).

case, step 4 is long and arduous; still better than trying to do
mathematics in Word, mind you...
In any case, can anybody recommend any tools which can help in mathematics
conversion to OOo or Word from LyX/LaTeX?

nt will do what you want in LaTeX. Probably have to use ERT
in LyX? There are also CTAN packages called tabbing and ntabbing which are
minor improvements on the basic environment.

LyX I don't like! A block cursor would be ideal (as an option, of
course) but anything a bit more obvious than a 1 pixel wide bar on a 1600
wide display would help...

the most under-rated benefits of a
WYSIWYM system like LyX. I have a preference for sans serif fonts on my

remember a PhD thesis on this topic at U of Waterloo, Canada) indicating
that although justified text "looked better", text that was left-aligned
(for european languages, say) was definitely easier to read.

check out the lineno LaTeX style which should be in your distribution. it
may do what you want.

files; my query is about
interacting with LyX gray boxes (such as the bibtex reference one or the
table of contents one). I don't want to change the bibtex style in any
case; in this case all I want to do is insert a '\itemsep=0pt' line after
the begin bibliography command and befo
"BibTeX Generated References" LyX directive. Unfortunately,
any reference to itemsep before or after this gray box has no effect and the
only way I can get things the way I want them is to edit the latex (well,
the bibtex generated) code itself. Is there any way to pass options to th
nately affect other
applications as well), assuming you are using X11 and not MS Windows, is to
re-map the keypad 1 key to something else using 'xmodmap'. For instance, you
could map it to F23 (a function key that might not already exist on your
keyboard). You can use 'xev' to find out the keycode for each key on your
keyboard.
