Mathieu, It's not good manners to force LyX to do anything. Rather, offer gentle encouragement. :-) That's out of my system so, ... Where you want the figures, insert a minipage. Within that page you can create two figure floats. Separate the two figure floats using an 'hfill', accessible from the Insert -> Special character menu. The Layout -> Paragraph alignment widget helps, too. > Also, my caption is always larger than my figure so > 2) how can tell Lyx to constrain the text body to the width of my > figure? This may not be an issue with the two figures in a minipage. Each float will be restricted in horizontal extent. Rich -- Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
