Many thanks for this, Henry. Before we can commit, could you please
send a message to lyx-devel with a license agreement such as:

It might be superfluous, but I still think it makes things a bit
clearer (talking about the menu before, talking about the toolbar now).

dto.

I do not use mathed, so others might comment on that.

Right. The mentioning in Formatting is wrong. I removed it in the
English version (or rather moved the better description to Special
Characters)

I think just "justifies" is the appropriate wording. Corrected.

> Table Captions".

Corrected.

Thanks.
