pseudo TAB in lyx

[Renato Pontefice]

Hi,
I used Rigt address class,
what I'm looking for, is a kind of Word action, when I write address, in
this way

TO:---------Name
ADDR:----Addr name
CITY-------Paris

I obtain this, using TAB. But LyX (rightly) does not use this

How can I obtain that?
I mean: I need to align, more words in different line. Until now, I found
the way to allign all the line at the same place.

Do I explain my self?

TIA

Renato

LaTeX would use the tabbing environment for this. In LyX, I think you
have to do it with a table.

Another way would be insert->box->frameless. Change the width of the box by right clicking on it and choosing settings. Do this for each column, possibly choosing a different width for each box and alignment within it. Then copy and paste these boxes to later lines. Make sure you change the paragraph settings for the *outside* of the boxes to have no indent, otherwise the first paragraph may be different to the others.

I think, Ive solved.

This is what I obtain. Last think (for now... ;-) ) how can I set word
"FROM" and "TO" as Bold (I'm old MS woed writer :-)

I used the the "insert--> Box" solution

Thank you

Renato

I've used "right Addr" class, then your sudgestion (
insert->box->frameless. Change the width of the box by...) and the addr are
aligned, but it seems that the "right Addr" is lost.
Why?

I’m not sure. Could you perhaps send an example LyX file?



BTW, it’s best to use “reply to all” to send replies to the whole list (assuming they contain nothing confidential).
