Can't make a new document.

2007-01-13 Thread Daniel Janzon

In Ubuntu Linux, Lyx version 1.4.2 (latest version in Ubuntu package
system), the following procedure results in an error:

1. Create a new document
2. Insert - Float - Table
3. Insert - Table
4. View - PDF (pdflatex)

The error message is

Argument of [EMAIL PROTECTED] has an extra }.
Paragraph ended before [EMAIL PROTECTED] was complete.

On a much older version of Lyx (1.2.1 I believe) running on Sun
Solaris, it works fine. Am I doing something wrong?

You have inserted the table into the caption environment.

The correct procedure is:

- Insert- Float
- type the caption
- press enter to create a new paragraph in the standard environment
- insert/create the table

This is correct, captions are usually above tables and below figures.
If you want to have the caption below the table anyway, then set the cursor at the beginning of the 
caption and press enter. Then insert the table above the caption.
