Hi
These are contoled by the LaTeX styles. You may want to find a style that are
better for you or you may override the style by using LaTeX as described
below.
from: http://tug.org/TeXnik/mainFAQ.cgi?file=floats/caption
Captions apart from Floats
If you need your floats on own pages only with a caption like Figure # and
additionally a list of corresponding captions, try the following (needs
endfloat.sty):
write in preamble:
\usepackage{endfloat}
\let\Caption\caption
\renewcommand\caption[1]{%
\Caption[#1]{}%
}
and insert your listoffigures in your text as usual. With this trick you can
not use the short caption option like
\caption[short for toc]{long for caption}
and
Left aligned Captions
Write in preamble:

pdfpages \includepdf not working
I created a 2-page survey in a Microsoft Word document, and now need
to include it as an appendix to my thesis (written in LyX). I have
produced a PDF of the survey but pdfpages (as mentioned on the wiki)
is not working, giving the error:
Error: pdflatex (file Questionnaire.pdf): cannot find image file
== Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!
My LyX document and the PDF are saved in the same folder, and I'm
using the following in an ERT:
\includepdf[pages==-]{Questionnaire.pdf}
How can I get this working? Having triple checked the file name I'm
stumped. This is LyX 1.3.7 on Windows XP.
Thanks,

Peter,
It still seems to me to be a problem with the PDF file. Can you generate it in
a different way? For example, if you generated it from MS Word by printing
Postscript to a file, then using ps2pdf, you might try opening the .doc file
with OpenOffice and exporting directly as a PDF file.

You don't have to use a figure float to insert an image,
particularly not if you don't want the image to float.
You can insert->graphichs directly into the document, if you wish.
The "figure float" provides floating (which you don't want) and
the Figure# caption.
Not using a float means the image appear exactly where you
put it, without a caption. (There are ways to get a caption
anyway if you like - but you'll need a few latex commands.)
The big disadvantage of this approach is if the image is big,
that is more than one line high, and appear so low down
on the page that there isn't room for it. If this happens,
lyx will put the non-floating image on the next page, leaving you
with an ugly page that have a lot of vertical white space at the bottom.
(Or perhaps that vertical white space is spread out inbetween headings
and list items on that page, which is also ugly when there's a lot of it.)
Floating images avoids this. When a floating image move to the
next page, the text appearing after the float in your document
will be used to fill the ugly gap at the bottom of the current page.
You can easily prevent an image from floating _far_ away from
where you want it - click on the float and check the "Here, definitely"
checkbox. Such a float will never move far, but it will move in those
cases where you otherwise would get a very bad page break.
Otherwise, such images appear exactly where you put them.
Note that you can easily use crossreferencing to correctly refer to
a floating image even when it moves to another page.
Lyx will automatically generate texts like
"figure 17 on the next page" for you. If later editing cause
the float to appear on the same page as the reference, then the
reference text will automatically change to "figure 17" without the
"next page" part. This is fully automatic, you don't need to do a thing

Re: pdfpages \includepdf not working
My LyX document and the PDF are saved in the same folder, and I'm
using the following in an ERT:
\includepdf[pages==-]{Questionnaire.pdf}
I have had trouble in the past with the dash to indicate all pages.
Try putting the first and last page numbers, e.g. [pages=1-5]

No joy. My ERT now looks like
\includepdf[pages={1,2},frame=true]{qout.pdf}
and am getting the same error still.

Peter,
It still seems to me to be a problem with the PDF file. Can you generate it in
a different way? For example, if you generated it from MS Word by printing
Postscript to a file, then using ps2pdf, you might try opening the .doc file
with OpenOffice and exporting directly as a PDF file.

I tried that and got exactly the same problem :( The first time I produced the PDF using PDFCreator, the second time from OpenOffice 2.0. Both give identical errors, which leads me to think it must be a problem using PDFPages? I've posted the Word document, PDF file and a sample LyX file online at http://dev.mapledesign.co.uk/lyx/ and if someone would test if it works on their computer that would be great. I have to hand in my thesis by 3pm GMT tomorrow, so if this doesn't work I'll be reduced to stapling a Word printout to the back! One possible issue might be that not all required LaTeX packages are installed? Out of those listed in http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf I cannot find everyshi in the MiKTeX package manager (and graphicx, ifthen and calc don't show up in the package manager either - but I'm guessing because they are core packages?)

Re: pdfpages \includepdf not working
Just to follow up, I think everyshi is properly installed: C:\Programs\MiKTeX>find . -name everyshi* -print .\doc\latex\ms\everyshi.dvi .\tex\generic\tex4ht\everyshi.4ht .\tex\latex\ms\everyshi.sty Which I'm guessing rules out the problem being in the MiKTeX installation. Peter
Re: pdfpages \includepdf not working
Hi, I tried it on my system (WinXP, Lyx 1.4.1) and keep getting errors saying "Package pdfpages Error: You are using neither pdfTeX nor VTeX." Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, though, as I'm a newbie to Lyx/Latex. If you just need to concatenate the two PDFs (your thesis and the survey) you could try FreePDF (http://freepdfxp.de/) (Windows and German only, AFAIK), which has also a 'MultiDoc' function to do just that - feed it two PDFs and get out one.

Hi list, I made an article using LyX 1.4.1 and got lots of errors (over 200) when i tried to edit it using 1.3.7 version. There are tags can't be recognized. Is there a way to solve this compatibility problem? Is there any explanation to this condition? Thanks, Adinda P

How to turn off math preview?
Could you help me, please, how can I turn off the math formula instant preview in LyX-qt 1.4.1 (linux)? Reasons: 1) slow 2) I cannot see the border of a formula 3) I cannot recognize an empty formula left in the text. With many thanks in advance, Laszlo E. Szabo -- L a s z l o E.
