Richard and Paul,

   Thank you for this discussion and the 
detailed reporting.

Have been thinking about wrapping, without actually doing anything.
Now I know what to do.

My file is now working well with wrapfig placed at the beginning of the
paragraph.

After fiddling around with it for a while, I find that bolding is not
relevant to the errors I experienced.

Yes, this was the main thing that was hanging me up.

Even after I'd corrected the left justification to paragraph's default, the
output was still wonky---the figure appeared in the correct location, but
the text wouldn't move around it and stayed under the figure. Finally, I
tried throwing away the old test file and making a new one from scratch.
The new test file worked perfectly well. I've noticed that it's not all
that rare for LyX files to get strangely corrupted. Even if all the
settings are correct, they just won't run, and you have to paste the
content into a new file to get it to work.

Thanks again for your help.

Richard,

I'm copying the user list on this, to keep the discussion visible to others.

Thanks for the improved example. There are two things I think you should 
change in it if you need to repost it later for some reason. First, the 
file path for the image refers to a subdirectory. Since the downloaded 
image will be in the same directory as the downloaded LyX file, that 
will need to be changed.


Second, you have the image at the start of the paragraph. I cannot find 
any way to trigger wrapping there (which may just be my lack of 
familiarity with the finer points of wrapfig). If I put it somewhere in 
the interior of the paragraph, I can get it to wrap, so you might want 
to move it there. When you move the figure into the body of the 
paragraph, you need to make sure it is not included in the bold faced 
section; if it is, spacing will be screwed up. The trick is to reset the 
series for all the text to the default, insert the figure where you want 
it, then select the preceding text, bold it, select the following text, 
and bold that.


With all that done, the image still pops to the bottom of the page, 
apparently because the text is left-justified. If you change the 
paragraph to default justification, wrapping works. As I said, I'm no 
expert on wrapfig, so I don't know whether it is compatible with 
non-default text justification. A Google search was not helpful in that 
regard. Looking at the LaTeX source generated by LyX, I see no problems, 
so I suspect this is an issue with wrapfig.

Your attached test document loads a missing figure and (in the preamble) 
uses some pretty non-standard fonts. A more generic example would help.

Hello everyone,

I have been reading this:

http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/PlacingPicturesBesideTheText

Plus a whole heap of stuff on the net to try to have text wrapped
around a graphic.

I can't make it work.

Just a simple line example would be nice and I will experiment with it
from there:

Do I have to use it in an ERT in the chapter/section I want it in?

 \usepackage{wrapfig}[12]{r}[34pt]{5cm}{pictobeused.jpg}

Doesn't work in ERT

So how might one use it?

Thanks in advance,

You have to do nothing, just use the menu: Insert - Float - Figure 
Wrap Float. Then insert your graphics just as you'd do for a normal float.
