LyX isn't that kind of program. It's not FrameMaker or Adobe Publisher
or whatever. But LaTeX does have so-called minipages that can be used
for this kind of purpose. As far as I know, LyX doesn't have any support
for this, but of course you can do it manually via LaTeX in ERT.
LyX has full support for this, see the boxes chapter of the EmbeddedObjects
manual.
But as said by Richard, LyX/LaTeX is designed to write books, reports, scientific articles, and
letters. You can even make presentations with it but this is very time consuming. So for
presentations, flyers, posters, etc., you should better use a DTP-program like Scribus, InDesign,
QuarkXpress, PowerPoint, etc.
The placement of figures is now accomplished, though I
do have some complaint about the *compliance* of LyX,
vis-à-vis following directions in the placement of graphics.
I do use the Float:Figure mechanism, and note that the
options for placement are general. Yet, even if the
selection is for top-of-page, or bottom-of-page, there are
conditions in which the graphic is not placed, or it is
placed on the next page, or it is placed at the end of
the document.
Yes, because the placement options rules. E.g. setting the option "bottom"
leads to:
- try to set the image at the bottom
- if this is not possible (by default when the image is bigger than 30% of the page height) then try
to put it on the next page, first at the top, then the bottom, then on its own page, then on eht
next page, and so on, until the image can be placed.
The rules can also be changed, the EmbeddedObjects manual explains this in
detail.
