Hello Rich,

Not yet found an easy method in Lyx so am using a free source app

Dear Sir
I would like to ask you about lyx problem: It occurs a package graphics error
when I create the PDF file from lyx.
The error message is:
Okay, maybe I did not make my situation clear enough: I have *never*

Ok, now I understand, but can not offer more advice. I always create a
