Hi Dov
Thanks for the prompt reply.

There are no non-floated items in the immediate vicinity of the list, but
there are some "Here Definitely" floats elsewhere in the chapter - I need to
do this as the float placement is critical and the default placement isn't
adequate.

Thanks, I'll try that.

I'm using lyx-1.4.3-2 with SuSE 10.1 (guru package)
The lyx file is quite big at present - I might attach it if the above doesn't
work.
Briefly, I have some itemised lists where the space above, below and between
items is small (normal) and others where it is large, ie 2-3cm between items
and the paragraphs above and below.
Thanks for your help
Paul
