Hi!

I've got a problem with float-figures. Some of my Figures extent somewhat
over my page-margins. I use 3cm for the left and the right margin for the
document.
On Herbert's LyX-Page, I found the following to change margins temporarilly:

Latex-Pre:

\newenvironment{myQuote}[2]%
               {\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin#1\rightmargin#2}\item{}}%
               {\end{list}}
in your text than

\begin{myQuote}{-2cm}{-2cm}
the text ... bla bla bla ... the text
\end{myQuote}

This works fine -- for the normal text, the margins are put away for -2cm
e.g., but floats don't care about that.
I think, because they're positioned by Latex, they can't "see" the
margin-changes. I use !hbtp, but no change.

The only way to fix it, would be to set the whole document to margin 1cm and
to change the text using the above Latex-Code.

But maybe, someone knows a better solution?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chris
