Re: wrapfig
Richard and Paul, Thank you for this discussion and the detailed reporting. Have been thinking about wrapping, without actually doing anything. Now I know what to do. Regards, Gordon Tauranga N.Z.

There are two things I think you should change in it if you need to repost it later for some reason. First, the file path for the image refers to a subdirectory. Since the downloaded image will be in the same directory as the downloaded LyX file, that will need to be changed. Second, you have the image at the start of the paragraph. I cannot find any way to trigger wrapping there (which may just be my lack of familiarity with the finer points of wrapfig). If I put it somewhere in the interior of the paragraph, I can get it to wrap, so you might want to move it there. When you move the figure into the body of the paragraph, you need to make sure it is not included in the bold faced section; if it is, spacing will be screwed up. The trick is to reset the series for all the text to the default, insert the figure where you want it, then select the preceding text, bold it, select the following text, and bold that. With all that done, the image still pops to the bottom of the page, apparently because the text is left-justified. If you change the paragraph to default justification, wrapping works. As I said, I'm no expert on wrapfig, so I don't know whether it is compatible with non-default text justification. A Google search was not helpful in that regard. Looking at the LaTeX source generated by LyX, I see no problems, so I suspect this is an issue with wrapfig. Paul

You have to do nothing, just use the menu: Insert -> Float -> Figure
Wrap Float. Then insert your graphics just as you'd do for a normal float.

Figure float wrapfig caption
Cheers, all,This is an almost purely theoretical question, so feel free to ignore.In my preamble, I have a command to change the font for figures and tables. It works fine on "regular" floats (the captions are of smaller font and single-spaced, whereas the regular text is double-spaced). However, on floating "wrapped" figures, although their font is smaller than the regular text, their captions are not single-spaced. Is there an easy way to fix this? ( I understand that wrapped floats are tricky, and often recommended against. That's why this is a "theoretical" question.) Thanks!

The problem is in the de_Extended.lyx file.
The following line should be in the preamble:
\usepackage{floatflt}
floatflt/ wrapfig error
Hello,
I have a problem using floatflt and wrapfig. Both seem to be installed, I have
a /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/wrapfig.sty, but it is not present in the
configure output, which you can see at the bottom of this message.
I am Running Mandrake 9.0 with tetex 1.0.7-61 and Lyx 1.2.1-2 and I only like
to have text around images.
There are two examples in de_Extended.lyx, the first one using floatflt is not
working, the dialog-box is missing, the second produces LaTeX Error:
Environment floatingfigure undefined.
This might be misconfiguration -- do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
Martin
