Thanks to Paul and J?n for their quick replies. The solution I was looking for was exactly what J?n suggested. I have created the .inc-file and it works fine, thank you.
I have only some additional questions: 1.) In the Lyx view of the document the numbering for the newly aux? 2.) The document I'm writing on uses KOMA-Script Book. I have changed the position of the table captions with the option "tablecaptionabove" in Document Settings>Document Class>Options. How can I get this positioning also for the newly created float-type? Best wishes, Johannes P.S. I think adding this to the linguistics module in 1.6 would be great. ----- original Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: Change the Floatname only for some Floats Gesendet: Sa 06 Sep 2008 08:55:37 CEST Von: "J?n Spitzm?r"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Paul A.
