You can do that by putting \thispagestyle{empty} just before the figure (or perhaps even better inside the caption?). But you should be sure that figures fit properly! Use height=100% in the figure box to do this. -- Stefano Ghirlanda, Zoologiska Institutionen, Stockholms Universitet email: you know it already, tel: +46-8-164055, fax:+46-8-167715 the free science campaign: http://ethology.zool.su.se/freescience
Re: page wrapping problem

I`ve no ideas what the problem may be and also not what I can do to prevent this. The problem exists in DVI/PS/PDF output, so I think the problem must be with Lyx or Latex.

bug with space in dir name
Hi, I do not know wheter this is a bug in LyX or LaTeX/TeX, but is seems that documents whose full path contains spaces cannot be typeset. For instance I see this in the temporary file in the /tmp/lyx_blabla directory: \def\input@path{{/home/ethology/common/Projects/Learning v Genetic//}} Which produces a "missing \begin{docment} error". If I take away spaces from the dir name, the error disappears. -- Stefano Ghirlanda, Zoologiska Institutionen, Stockholms Universitet email: you know it already, tel: +46-8-164055, fax:+46-8-167715 the free science campaign: http://ethology.zool.su.se/freescience
