Having used Word (4,5 95, 97) for many years in industry (it was a corporate standard)
and at home, and having also used many other document preparation tools on Windoze and
Unix, I would like to add my tuppence worth to this. Just to be clear, this is not a
rant against word, but a comment tha

That does not even hold for most .ps files. Having a format using ASCII
char does not necessarily mean you can read it painlessly...

Yes, I had in mind the input markup being of use in 20 years time, as opposed to the
output format de jour. I have in my collections some old files in runnof (from Prime
computers amongst others) and nroff files that I can readily access with vi. This
works of course only if you have the means

Hello,
I have a problem with arrays in Lyx. Frequently, I need insert vertical
and horizontal lines into arrays. For example,
A 0 | 0
0 A | 0
0 0 | A
The corresponding latex code is :
\( \left[ \begin{array}{cc|c}
A & 0 & 0\\
0 & A & 0\\
\hline 0 & 0 & A
\end{array}

Dear Herbert,
Thank you for your solution.
Along with your solution, I obtained a solution to change massive arrays
including vertical lines.
Some suggestions regarding to vertical/horizontal lines in arrays are:
1. horizontal lines can be input in arrays directly with \hline
