+1 LaTeX is better and prettier for rendering than LyX. More details would be useful. The only reason I can think of is that you don't have LaTeX installed or you are getting LaTeX errors. To answer your question though, I don't think this is possible other than taking screen shots. I could be wrong though. Scott
