 Hi,
 
 When I insert pictures into a file (say two pictures in one "wide figure
 float") the pictures seem to be nicely in their place in the LyX window but
 when I actually compile the file and view the dvi, the pictures are at top
 of the page rather than where I want them to be.
 
 Any suggesstions?

This is default behavior for LaTeX. However, you can try to control the
placement by putting '!h' (without the quotes) in the float placement box
of the Layout-Document dialog. 'h' means: here; '!h' means: try really
really hard to place this float here.

Thanks. Syrus.
