 Hi Rob,  Thanks for your reply.  Yes, I want all the figures/tables to 
 appear at the end of my document, after the references. And I want them 
 to appear in the order in which I make them in my .lyx file. 

There is a LaTeX package for this task, so you only have to write

 \usepackage{endfloat}
 
in the LaTeX preamble.

See the package documentation for possible options regarding the

About bug in 1.6.5

[Wei-Dong Lian]

hi everyone,

My system is kubuntu 10.04, my lyx 1.65 was installed from  the apt-get
install lyx in kubuntu's defaut sourcelist. At beginning, it worked well,
but recently when invoke insert float figure and table, it will close down
automatically, before it also arrived.
Is there anyone who has experienced this problem, any solution will be
appreciated.

Hi,
kudos to Paul for suggesting me to remove my ~/.lyx directory, it
worked and the issues has not reappeared. I'm a bit puzzled because
I've been trying to isolate the origin of issue but had no luck. I'll
try harder if I have the time.
Thanks again to everybody,

Emme

 You're welcome.  Been there, done that.  The T-shirt didn't fit.

 For any who are interested, I ran configure.py. It turned out that LyX was
 failing because of a .layout file I no longer use. When I copied my
 favorites into the new copy of LyX, I must have not been thinking and copied
 this old one in as well.

 I'm not sure why it didn't work (it used to), but removing it solved the
 problem.

 During one of the version updates (I think from 1.5.x to 1.6), changes were
 made that broke some layout files.  There's a conversion script
 (layout2layout.py) in the scripts directory; don't know if LyX automatically
 tries to run it against old layouts during a reconfiguration or not.

How to activate Name-field for Formatted reference?

Hi,

It would be good having more data, such as type of operating system and others.

Re: Problems with pdf conversion

[Marcin Jurek]

I'm using LyX 1.6.5 on Windows Vista 32bit and did not attempt to write 
the file in a restricted location. What's more it seems to me that the 
problem lies with LyX because at the beginning the file got perfectly 
compiled and it was only later on when more text and more equations was 
added that the problems began.
In addition to that when I cut some parts of the text and paste it into 
an empty file sometimes it gets compiled sometimes it doesn't (no clue 
what it might depend on).

Thanks for your interest so far

Default fonts

[Andrew Parsloe]

Having recently discovered just how much clearer the Latin Modern fonts 
are in Acrobat Reader compared with the Computer Modern fonts, and for 
that matter how much crisper they are when printed, is there any reason 
for LyX defaulting to Computer Modern rather than Latin Modern? I know 
it is a simple matter to change them from the Document/Settings/Fonts 
screen but given the much crisper look of Latin Modern surely that 
should be the default font family in LyX?
