Hi Salim
I'm not sure about an answer to the first question. However, for the
second question, in my own experiences with that I found that it
wasn't really possible -- it seems that the resolution that the
diagrams are at in a word file is rather poor. You might try pasting
them into a new document in something like Gimp (an opensource image
editing program) and then trying to touch them up there. For the
third question, when you bring up the cross-reference dialog box, you
will see an option for format. If you select "Formatted reference" it
will produce something like 'Figure 3 on page 4' etc. You can also
select other formatting things (such as it automatically putting
'Table #' for table references).
Depending upon the underlying LaTeX system on your computer, you may
have to install an extra package -- I ran into an error a while back
when I tried to use Formatted Reference on a windows machine with
MikTeX -- it complained about some package not being present. On a Mac
with MacTeX, the package already there. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Neil

Hi,
I have recently started using LyX 1.5.2 and have few questions
regarding
formatting figures (especially in IEEEtrans class document):
1. How can I change the the style of the caption HEADER? e.g. make
the caption
at the center of the page, or make the word "Figure" italic?
2. I create a lot of diagrams in MS Word and I to insert them in
LyX, but when I
do, the quality of the figure is rubbish!! what is the best format
for diagrams
made by MS Word?
3. When cross-referencing figures, how can I make LyX automatically
put "Figure
2" instead of "2" or "Figure 2 on page 3"?
Your help is most appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Salim Namik
