Could someone please inform me as to the requirements to get floatflt to work
in lyx-1.2.0? I ran into a difficulty with it when trying to write a grant
and ended up having to use another wordprocessor because I simply could not
get lyx to flow text around an image.
I had an ps image/figure I was trying to insert into my document. I looked
at the extended help for lyx and read about floatflt. I added
"\usepackage{floatflt}" to my document's preamble (it was the only entry).
I then entered a tex command before the ps image:
"\begin{floatingfigure}[r]{3cm}" then used insert->graphics to insert my ps
image. I followed the ps image with another tex command:
"\end{floatingfigure}". The ps image displayed in lyx but when I printed out
the document or previewed a postscript image of the doc, the place in the
paragraph where the image should have been was simply taken up with a blank
line separating the sentence within which the above tex commands were placed.
No image, no text flowing around it.
Am I leaving something out to get this to work? The document was merely a
Standard document. Nothing fancy, no enumerations, nothing. It is too late
to make use of floatflt for this grant but for future grants, I would like to
be able to use lyx. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
