I was trying to do the same for my Final Project documentation. I saw an
example in Extended Lyx Help File. All is in 3.8 Section --> Wrapping Text Around
Figures. Unfortunately I tried it but I didnt get that I wanted. I got a lot
of errors, but don't worry I suppose that I did something wrong because I
am newbie :/.
It seems that you will need to put 2 ERT controls, one before figure, and other after
figure as follows:
\begin{floatingfigure}[r]{6cm}
## Insert figure
\caption{This is a wrapped figure, and this is the brilliant caption that describes it}
\end{floatingfigure}
You will find more information on section 3.8 of Extended.lyx help
file...
Regards.
Apologies for my english.
