After I create a figure (fig.eps) using  xfig and then adding it to
my document using  "insert figure:  type: Encapsulated Postscript"
I tried to create a caption by setting the paragraph style 
containing the figure to Caption.

What I get instead is

"Senseless:"    

Not matter which way I create a Caption paragraph syle I get 
the same thing.

 If I build a postscript file I get nine errors.
Most of them are control sequence problems.  One says no counter
defined.


It sounds like I am doing something really stupid but I don't
know what. Any suggestions?


Also,  

I have kept track of posts involving creating of figures 
particularly figures of the combined postscript/latex kind.

In the documentation is says that these documents cannot
be scaled.  I assume that I must get them right in XFix
because they cannot be adjusted in anyway afterwards.
This should like it might be a bit awkward but to serious
of a problem.  Am I correct or does it mean something 
more severe.

Also,

One of the people posting about using  XFix/lyx pointed out
that the combined postscript/latex figures should only be
used when the figure goes on a separate page.
Why is this the case.

I am writing a thesis in Computational Geometry and I need many
figures and many of them need to have latex commands in them.
And I don't want to put all my figures on a single page.  
I need floats to work with these figures and also wrapping 
around figures.

Am I going to be able to do all these things using the
combined postscript/latex XFig figures.

What options do I have?

Thanks
