Hi
I'm looking for a way to make a long equation span both columns in a double
column article. I've searched the mailing list and found two old threads
about this (see below).
A solution to the newer message was to: "After you have inserted the figure
float, set the cursor behind the word
'Figure' and choose 'standard' instead of 'caption' in the format menu."
I don't see Format menu and I could not find a way to remove word 'Figure'
in Lyx 1.4.2 WinXP. Is there another way of doing this? A footnote
spanning
two column and having no footnote counter would do also, but I don't know
how to do that either.
Thank you very much
Leo

I want one of those equations you usually put with Ctrl-Shift-M that usually
take a full line, to span both columns in a two-column equation. I found the
following in the archive back from august 2003

Insert the equation into a wide figure float:
In LyX 1.2.x: Insert->Floats->Wide figure
In LyX 1.3.x: Insert->Floats->Figure, and then press the right mouse button
on the figure frame, and select the "span columns" button.
The question would be: Doing this i have the ugly 'Figure:' caption going
around, breaking symmetry with the rest of equations which doesnt dock like
that, so if i want to do this, i must somehow do _all_ equations like this
to preserve document uniformity
There are already new ways to do this? :)
The LaTeX sttools bundle has a couple of packages that might help. I
haven't used either one myself. Brief descriptions are at
