This won't work.
A nice way for having both caption and a short caption is the following:
Modify the stdlayouts.inc file (or just the layout file
you use for your document), adding to it the following lines:
---begin-
Style ShortCaption
CopyStyle Caption
LatexName setshortcaption
LabelString "Short Caption:"
LabelType Static
Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}[1]{
\ifx \shortcaption \undefined
\oldcaption{#1}
\else
\oldcaption[\shortcaption]{#1}
\fi
}
\newcommand{\setshortcaption}[1]{
\newcommand{\shortcaption}{#1}
}
EndPreamble
End
-end-
Then you can put a short caption paragraph before your caption paragraph.

In LaTeX you can provide an optional argument to caption, that is used
in the tof. In LyX you could try to put [your tof text] as the first
thing in the caption.

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.

Two latex questions
I have two latex questions if anyone has a minute to help me. First, I cite a reference in a figure caption, but don't like that it shows up in the TOF. Is there a way to show the reference in the figure caption, but not in the TOF? Second, I have a couple LARGE figures that just about fill the page. Trouble is, that they cover the page numbers in the std report format. Actually, it's OK when that happens, but sometimes they don't cover the page number, and the caption ends up beneath it. Is there a way to either turn off or reposition the page number, just for the page that a float ends up on? Thanks for any help. Brett
