Hi Ray,

I have no idea how to do it, but I have an idea how to troubleshoot it. Take 
the simplest possible LyX file, try to insert a figure in a wide, outside 
margin and can do so easily in LaTeX by inserting a \includegraphics call 
into a properly configured \wrapfig package call (with "outside" of the 
binding parameter) . Make sure that with this new, ultrasimple file, it still 
fails.

If it succeeds, exploit the differences between the large and small file to 
find the root cause.

However, if the small file fails, then export it to LaTeX, and exploit the 
differences between the exported LaTeX and a hand-made equivalent that works.

Please let us all know when you find the answer. Having ERT fail when the same 
thing succeeds in LaTeX is indeed puzzling.

Thanks
