HELP:Sub/superscripts not scaled properly
Hi, I'm writing a bunch of equations which uses subscripts which are words not variables. So (in Math mode) I've got things like V low Where V is a normal variable and the subscript "low" is a word. I enter "low" by first pressing Alt-C-M. However I find that the word "low" isn't scaled properly and looks quite large in the generated postscript file. I find that if I switch to AMS layout then it is scaled properly. Can you offer any solutions, as I don't really want to switch to AMS layout. Thanks. _ Do You Yahoo!?

Footnotes
Hello, I'm aware that the following question is more latex- than lyx-oriented but maybe someone can help me out... Is there a way to change the amount of space between the footnotes and the last line of text at the bottom of the page ? I'd like to increase the space since I use double-spacing in my text and it looks ugly to have the footnote (including the line above it) so close to the last line of text. Thanks in advance, Natal Vande Casteele
Table captions
Dear Lyx users, Perhaps you can help me with these 2 questions: The space left between the table caption and the table is a little small for my taste. I know how to change this for each caption, but is there a way to make a certain distance be the default setting? Is there a way to limit the width of a caption? Sometimes, if the table width is small and the caption is long, it doesn't look good. I'm using version 1.0.3. Thank you in advance for your help.
