Hi Morgan, how do you add the word "Figure" before the figure number? Thanks Katja -- View this message in context: http://lyx.475766.n2.nabble.com/list-of-figures-tp475878p5770172.html Sent from the LyX - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

That's correct. I would like to know if there is a way of finding out if there exists a function which does a particular thing. It is quite time-consuming to go through each menu in the toolbar. For the moment, the wikisearch hasn't helped me a great deal. Kind regards Bishan
