I've just tried a few TikZ scripts in the 2.0.0 svn version of LyX. The more complicated ones tend to fail for me (I'm not sure why; I don't have time to track down what is going wrong at the moment). However, the one here: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/nav1d/ works, possibly

My *guess* is some sort of unclosed tag, or malformed entry, in the bibliography file, for Reference [4]. Note that the page numbers are italicized at the end of [4], and that the [5] is also italicized (and overlays the [6]). That's what I'd look at first, anyway.

You might try inkscape (www.inkscape.org) for the value chain diagrams. I used to use XFig for that sort of thing, but I'm learning inkscape more. Of course, it won't automatically generate the diagrams, but it'll be a lot easier to use (in my opinion) than GiMP. 1) Running headers is no

The way I do this is to press Enter before putting the actual xfig picture (or any picture) in the frame. This makes the figure number (and caption, if needed) go below the figure. My very rough rule-of-thumb is that if the 'figure #' appears to (say) the immediate right of the actual
