This is a new one for me. I'm hoping this rings a bell with someone. I'm on
LyX 1.5.3 on WinXP. I've updated my MikTeX packages, refreshed the file name
database and updated formats, then reconfigured LyX, to no avail.
The file was producing glorious PDFs this morning. I didn't make anything
more than minor edits and some hours later LaTeX now throws a fit about the
Figures when compiling. Nothing changed with the Figures. I've had odd LaTeX
errors show up with other little tweaks I inserted, but I can't find
anything for this one.
LaTeX gets through run #1, BibTeX finishes, and run #2 throws the following
errors, repeated in this order for each Figure float in the document. It
also throws a hissy on the Table float, but I think it's all related so I'll
go with this for now.
- Improper \prevdepth
+ \end{figure}
You can refer to \spacefactor only in horizontal mode;
you can refer to \prevdepth only in vertical mode; and
neither of these is meaningful inside \write. So
I'm forgetting what you said and using zero instead.
- You can't use `\prevdepth' in horizontal mode
+ \end{figure}
Sorry, but I'm not programmed to handle this case;
I'll just pretend that you didn't ask for it.
If you're in the wrong mode, you might be able to
return to the right one by typing `I}' or `I$' or `I\par'.
- Missing number, treated as zero
+ \end{figure}
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
-Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted)
+ \end{figure}
Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc,
cm, mm, dd, cc, nd, nc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one!
I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points.
To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to
delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete
two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)

The preview source for the first Figure float looks like this:

Thanks for any help,
