In this case Helge's solution could very well complement mine: when in need of a subsequent figure float, copy/paste an existing one, click on the image and change the file name. This way you will have kept all the settings of the original figure float. > and occupy all the page width. But > it turns out to start at the left boundary of text, not the rim of the > page.

Thanks! > I'm not sure what exactly you're aiming for, but I would suggest that you experiment with the various 'width' options available (for example, in addition to 'page' and 'text' you also have 'line width %'; you may check Help > User's Guide for more info on this), keeping in mind that you can specify '100 Page Width %', as well as '130 Page Width %' or '70 Page Width %'. See what works best in your case. Regards Liviu
