I just tested 1.2.1cvs and it converted my png to xpm directly, and loaded it via the xforms image loader regards john -- "I hope you will find the courage to keep on living despite the existence of this feature." - Richard Stallman

Not at all. It is just a matter of teething troubles with the new system, and buggy programs lyx relies on, and old buggy image files. When everyone is using xforms internal image loader or (eventually) the Qt or Gnome frontends, things will just work much better, by default. john -- "I hope you will find the courage to keep on living despite the existence of this feature." - Richard Stallman

Adding sections to TOC?
I'm using the book class, and all my chapter headings show up in the table of contents...except chapters using the chapter* type. Basically I want to have a section at the end of my dissertation for a short vita Not, "Chapter 7 Vita" but just vita using the chapter* type instead of the chapter type does this, but it doesnt show up in the TOC. Is there any way I can make it do so (or is there a better way to do what I want)? Thank you very much. :) P.S. one other quick question...is it possible to get the chapter heading centered?

the number "1.1" is bold and larger than the title itself...
