Subject: Re: Text and figure layout - HELP!

Ok I have been struggling with this all day and it seems to me there
must be an obvious solution.
The layout I would like is as follows:
A name and address above each other right aligned - this bit is easy as
I can just align the paragraph.
Under that a rule as wide as the text above it.
Under that a block of text positioned next to a figure. The figure is
flush with the right hand margin and the depth of the text is the same
as that of the figure.
I have tried using a tabular environment but I can't get the top of the
text algined with the top of the figure. I have tried text wrpa but that
leaves a space above the figure. It is essential that the top of the
figure is aligned with the top of the text.
it is easy with the titlepage environment. You can cretae your
own LyX layout for such an environment, then you do not need
TeX code. Here is a LaTeX solution, Tex2Lyx should be possible

Many thanks for that Herbert. I had a sort of solution that is similar but I
have learnt one lesson today.
Latex tables work better if you write the TEX rather than trying to use the
Lyx control box.
