I'm not into semantics here if it's a bug, feature, my fault or not. I want to use sub-figures in a siggraph teaser. You can of course do what you want, but you might get troubles when submitting your paper. I'll repeat a third time what I said in my original post and in my previous reply: To use sub-figures I need to use a float inside the teaser. The siggraph template doesn't support that, and the result is incorrect, and I need to resort to embedding inside a box mini page. In order for that to work, I need to set the box width to 207% column width What do you expect? That LyX supports boxes that are larger then the page width? LyX is a text processor program and not a desktop publishing tool. It is bases on the concept of WYSIWYM and therefore it displays 100 col% as consuming 100 % of your screen width. Using wider boxes is against the WYSIWYM concept. But this is no problem because you can use TeX code to get what you want. regards Uwe I apologize for my rudeness. Sometimes when someone doesn't listen, and I need to repeat myself three times, I lose control, even if he has the best intentions. "That LyX supports boxes that are larger then the page width?" "...it displays 100 col% as consuming 100 % of your screen width..." In the first sentence you imply that lyx supports boxes up to a page size. In the second sentence, you correct yourself, and admit that it supports boxes up to half a page size (in a double column paper). So yes to your question; I expect from lyx to support boxes, figures, tables that span two column - I don't think it is that rare, e.g. my case. And yes, as I said before, I can use a detour and overcome this, and I would understand if you want to leave it this way (although to my taste, I would find this quirky).
