Hello everybody, 
Does somebody know how to insert correctly an Excel Graphic into LYX ? 
(I tried a PDF saving and importing but the resulting graphic has lot of
blank around, 
and I'm unable to obtain an image centered on the page...) 
Thank you in advance, 
Fran�ois


You can get rid of the blank space by right-clicking on the image box in 
LyX (at least it's a right-click in the Windows port of LyX), selecting 
the "Clipping" tab, checking the "Clip to bounding box" option and then 
filling coordinates for the bottom left and top right corners of the 
rectangle you actually want displayed.  This may require some trial and 
error.  The coordinates of the lower left corner of the PDF page you 
produced will be (0,0) in any units, but the coordinates of the upper 
right corner will depend on what page size was used when you produced 
the PDF.
