put the cursor left or right from the table, than
layout->paragraph->center

hi...thanks for your prompt reply. hitting 'enter' solves part of the
problem (no errors are generated). however the table doesn't come out
centered. of course, the latex command \centering does the job. is there a
way to get that correctly as well, within lyx?

You get outlined Computer Modern fonts with: \usepackage{ae}

did you hit enter behind the caption?
otherwise the table is part of the caption ...

problems in floating tables..

2001-08-10 Thread agi

hi all...recently i was trying to make a table in lyx (ver. 1.1.6fix3,
running on gnu/redhat linux,6.2).
first i insert a table float, then just after the 'Table:' i type a
caption and then insert the table from the menu. when i try to view the
dvi file it gives me two errors.
1. paragraph ended before \@caption was complete...forgotten }
2. argument of \@caption has an extra } 
   looks like the first error is, lyx can't find the closing bracket in
\caption and then the second error is that it finds it elsewhere and
thinks that's it's an extra bracket. i exported the file as a latex file
and manually corrected the brackets and then reimported it back and then
the whole thing compiles properly. is there a little bug here?? 
Even after this the table is not centered becos of the missing
\centering before \begin{tabular}. again this i found out by exporting the
User's manual as a tex document, becos in the User's Guide (section
4.4.5), the table's are nicely centered. 
it would be nice if this can be fixed up (or may be there's some
other way of doing it, in which case i wud like to know what is the
correct way)..

Insert the following line into your $HOME/preferences file:
\view_dvi_paper_option ""

Which version of perk do you have installed? I hope that which comes with
Cygwin. Lyx will call 'relyx' which is a perl script and it should run
perfectly if you have installed the perl package for Cygwin.
