I've just compiled Lyx 1.3, and I must say I'm especially happy with the QT interface - I use KDE and Opera, and it's a great boon to have dialog boxes etc. that behave consistently with my other applications. I've been using Lyx since version 0.12, and it's one of my very favourite apps.
However, I'm stumped at how to insert correctly centred figure and table floats. In older versions of Lyx (e.g. 1.1.6) one would do insert->floats->figure float, and then immediately choosing insert->figure would insert a figure that would appear above the caption and centred horizontally. In 1.3, if I do insert->floats->figure, and then do insert->graphics, the figure is rendered on the same line as the caption in the Lyx gui, and when I try to preview dvior PS I get an error of the form: "Argument of \@caption has an extra }. ...946HvIigl/lyx_tmpbuf0/_home_cornell_Fig1}} ... " If I instead do insert->floats->figure float, and then hit return, I am able to insert a figure that appears above the caption, but is not centred. Similarly, if I hit return after writing the caption, I can insert a figure after the caption, but not centred. The same problem occurs with tables. In fact, it also occurs if I try to create tables in 1.1.6 (though, as I said, figures work as I expect them to in that version of Lyx). However, I'm pretty certain that things were different in older versions of Lyx, as I have old .lyx files with centred table floats. I strongly suspect that I'm missing something here. Can anyone help out? -- Stephen Cornell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel/fax +44-1223-336644 University of Cambridge, Zoology Department, Downing Street, CAMBRIDGE CB2 3EJ
