Another option is to use the tip from Herbert Voss http://www.texnik.de/floats/floats.phtml#center
Add the following to your preamble...
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\centering
}{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
\makeatotherYou will not see the centering in LyX, but any output (dvi, df, ps) will have centered figures. This avoids having to apply the Paragraph formatting manually to each figure (which can be tedious in a long document).

LyX 1.3.5 on Mac OS 10.3.6 All my figures in LyX are positioned on the

them horizontally? (I would rather wrap, but that doesn't seem to work too
well!)
Hank,
The platform shouldn't matter. Place the cursor to the left of the image
box then select the "Layout -> Paragraph -> Center" option. Click "OK".
