Thanks for the suggestion, it led me to a suitable solution but it was not in
the EmbeddedObjects manual. This manual mentions using the caption package in a
manner like:
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[figure]{margin=2cm}
However, the caption package does not work with subcaptions provided by the
package subfigure that LyX uses. I found this info in section 6.14 of the
caption documents here:
http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=caption
By the way, the subfigure documents also say that the subfigure package is
deprecated and superceded by the subfig package.
The solution was to edit the subfigure style file subfigure.sty. It seems that
subfigure is defaulting to the "tight" configuration setup which removes all
margins from the captions (the tight option is set in subfigure.cfg). So I
edited the definition for the tight keyword for the caption margins. The line I
changed now looks like:
\subfigcapmargin = 10\p@
instead of
\subfigcapmargin = \z@
underneath the declaration for the tight option: \DeclareOption{tight}{%
