Moving table captions within a float

[Rich Shepard]

  I placed all table captions _under_ the tables, just as I have with figure
captions. Reviewing the publisher's specifications I see that they want
table captions _above_ the table.

  What is the most efficient (and safest) way to change the position of the
caption? Do I just cut it all and paste it before the table, or is there a
better way?

Thanks,

Rich

Andrew, I think Nirmal has already repaired it in his new rpm LyX file, 
according to his last post.
I think the problem is that he's missing Qt3? What does 'rpm -q 
qt3-common' and 'rpm -q libqt3' produce? Also try 'rpm -q coreutils' 
 if these packages are not found, then just grab the rpm from 
rpmfind.net or so..

I understand your point, but I do not fully agree with it. Frequently, there 
are more than one answer to the same question (as the one asked) and not all 
answers have the same degree of satisfaction to the one who asks the 
question. Therefore, the larger the number of people to whom one sends a 
question, the higher is the probability of getting a richer variety of 
answers. I did not mean to abuse of the generosity of the people on here or 
on any list, because it is sharply against my principles.

Caption without chapternumber in report(Koma-script)

[Ingar Pareliussen]

Hi

i am writing a report consisting of several unrelated papers. I do not use the 
chapter number at all and thus it seems wrong to have the chapter number 
included into the caption.

So to recap: I need to get the caption to read Figure 1: instead of Figure 
0.1:. The figure should, however, be reset to 1 at the start of each chapter.  

So is this possible without changing the latex-class ?

change your paper size to a4, add some more space to the

I can't determine from your message whether ordinary previews of LyX 
documents in pdf or other formats fail, or whether it is the 
latex-preview of math in LyX that is failing.

If it is the former, try running

   /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/LyX -dbg latex

in a terminal; you may need to change the command if you installed 
LyX/Mac somewhere other than the Applications folder.  The debugging 
output will show the LaTeX generation/execution.

If latex-previews of math n LyX fail, did you run (double-click) 
LyX-Setup in the installation bundle?

strange sound mac osx

every time I click on any element of the lyx-menu-bar (1.3.3 and 1.3.4) my
computer starts whistling strangley (ibook os x 10.3). As soon as I get the

So sorry for posting this non-existential problem. But although I'm very

Because latex2html does not know that they were available as .jpg, it only 
sees the .eps file references in the .tex file.

Please file this as an enhancement request on http://bugzilla.lyx.org to 
make sure that it does not get forgotten.

You could use the attached external template (untested) instead of using the 
graphics include. Another option is to write a little script that converts 
the .tex file in the way you have done it by hand before feeding it to 
latex2html and use that script as html exporter instead of latex2html.
