Thanks a lot!

Again: Using Help/Embedded Objects I get an error box

   Lyx: The document class is not available

elaborating that scrbook.layout is not available. 

I managed to produce a simple example, though, and found with
document/settings that lots of classes are not available, among them
KOMA contrary to what the user guide states. I reset the document
class to book and set several other options like language. This way, I
managed to produce a PDF file.

Next, I experienced two more problems,

1) I get type 3 fonts in my PDF document, which means that they are
bitmaps giving an ugly expression. They should be type 1 fonts.

2) I can't manage to place a picture on a page and let the text float
around the picture. This is extremely easy with Word, but doesn't seem
to be a problem in scientific publications, so I doubted if there is a
solution. In http://latex.tugraz.at/fortgeschrittene.php#grafiken I
found

\usepackage{floatflt}
   
   \begin{floatingfigure}[r]{0.4\textwidth}
     \centering
      \includegraphics[width=0.35\textwidth]{./bild.eps}
      \caption{Das ist mein Bild}
      \label{fig:mein-bild}
   \end{floatingfigure}

or

  \usepackage{picins}

   ...

   \piccaption{Graz bei Nacht\label{graz-bei-nacht}}
   \parpic[r]{\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{./graznacht.eps}}

I guess there is no other way than hand coding, right?
