Table borders...double borders

[econkramer]

Dear LyX..ers,

I would put a double border at the top and at the bottom of a table. The
only way I found up to now is rather fancy; that is, putting 2 lines more,
one at the top and at the bottom and then selecting the borders. But, the
results is not so good, obviously, as the table appears longer than needed.
Does someone know a more intellegent way of putting a double border?

many thanks to all

I think that you are trying to achieve something that the booktabs package
offers (check Google ;)). LyX has half-native support for booktabs. Click on
the table and open its properties and click on “formal table”. Check
section 2 in the Embedded Objects Manual for more information.
