Hello Julien, Thank you very much, I tried your abstract module with the lyx two column settings rather than using the multicol package, the document now publishes how I intended it to be. Title, authors, and abstract across the page width; content in two columns with figure floats set 'Use default placement'. And voila the figures are nicely placed are more importantly they are all there!
Thank you and Merry Christmas Michi On 15 December 2011 07:20, Julien Rioux <jri...@physics.utoronto.ca> wrote: > On 14/12/2011 3:48 AM, Xu Wang wrote: > >> On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 3:42 AM, Michi Speck<michi.a.sp...@gmail.com>** >> wrote: >> >> > I'll give it that a go, but does lyx 2 column layout allow for single >>> > column abstract at the top? >>> > >>> > Regards >>> > Michi >>> >> > If you are using one of the standard article document class, have a look > at my abstract module for LyX here: > http://www.physics.utoronto.**ca/~jrioux/resources/lyx/<http://www.physics.utoronto.ca/~jrioux/resources/lyx/> > > Cheers, > Julien > -- Regards, Michi Speck Email: michi.a.sp...@gmail.com Cell: 0211675740 ----------------------------------- 8 Plumwood Lane Cashmere Christchurch 8022 New Zealand ---------------------------------- University of Canterbury Christchurch New Zealand Room: E330 Phone: 03 3667001 ext 7095 "This email may be confidential and subject to legal privilege, it may not reflect the views of the University of Canterbury, and it is not guaranteed to be virus free.
