There is maybe another possibility: Lyx supports the subfigure package. It could provide a more elegant solution, but I have never used it.
Murat, I'll take a look at it. Right now I scaled the figures to 25% and can put two side-by-side and have them fit on the text line. There have been many changes to figure handling since I last used this feature in lyx. What's immediately obvious to me is that the figure number for the caption is strictly sequential (1-n) while the compiled caption number and within-text reference is sequential only within sections. So, for example, what I see as Figure 6 in the float caption is labled as Figure 5.3 on the dvips preview. So that's how I need to reference it in the text. The label/cross-reference system I used to use is not working for me today; the compiled caption would be Figure 5.1.3 and the cross-reference in the text would be Figure 5.3. Adding modules didn't help. Thanks, Rich
