I selected two column format under "Text Layout" under Document Settings. It appears to work fine, but I'm not sure what you meant by: If I set the page layout as 2 column, the figures are included, but the title, author, abstract, and bibliography are also in the 2-column format. For me, the title, author, and date are set in single-column format, whereas the abstract and bibliography are in the 2-column format. This is expected in my opinion, but if you're looking for something else, you may be forced to use ERT to customize further. -Jacob testing.lyx Description: application/lyx

Since you are using ERT, you will have to use one of the solutions from https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12262/multicol-and-figures by hand. Guillaume, I tried both approaches on that stackexchange thread but could not learn how to add captions and labels to non-float graphic inserts. So, ... I went to the LyX wiki on Figures and found the answer: Insert the figure in a float and add the caption and cross-reference label to it. Then position the cursor immediately ahead of the float and invoke the Edit -> Float Settings checkbox. Deselect "Default settings" and select the "Here definitely" option. Set the figure width to 100% column width, save and compile. Hope this helps others, too, Rich

Multicol Package: Figures Not Displayed
Running lyx-2.1.4 on Slackware-14.1. Document class is KOMA-script article and the multicol package is included in the preamble. For ease of reading I want to set the body in two columns per page leaving the title, author, abstract, and bibilography in a single column. Following the abstract, in the standard environment I inserted \begin{multicol}{2} followed by the first chapter heading on a new line. At the end of the text, before the bibliography environment, I inserted \end{multicol}. This works but the three figures are not included (they are sized to 100% column width), and the references are typeset as Figure ??. If I set the page layout as 2 column, the figures are included, but the title, author, abstract, and bibliography are also in the 2-column format. I've looked for the source of the problem but have not seen it. A hint as to why the figures are not displayed when the multicol package is used will be much appreciated. TIA, Rich

Re: multicol package

I have set it up as follows: Chapter Title \begin{multicols}{2} (body text) \end{multicols} or Section Heading \begin{multicols}{2} (body text) \end{multicols} It seems to work OK until I'm about half way through the book, then when I try to view using DVI or PDF, I get an error message Dimension too large. Is there a limit as to how many times you can changee from one to two columns? Is there a limit to how many words this setup can handle? Any help would be appreciated. The errors is produced for another cause. No limits in the words. I have in several times Dimension too large but, for now, I can pinpoint the origin.

multicol package
I am trying to set up a book (8x10 - about 400 pages) with mostly 2 columns. I want the chapter titles and section headings to go across the page with the body text in 2 columsn. I have set it up as follows: Chapter Title \begin{multicols}{2} (body text) \end{multicols} or Section Heading \begin{multicols}{2} (body text) \end{multicols} It seems to work OK until I'm about half way through the book, then when I try to view using DVI or PDF, I get an error message Dimension too large. Is there a limit as to how many times you can changee from one to two columns? Is there a limit to how many words this setup can handle? Any help would be appreciated.
