I had a swell time using Lyx to work on this document in RedHat linux 
with Lyx 1.1.6fix4:

http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/ResearchPapers/activists.pdf

2 problems came up I was not able to solve.

My coauthor used a text editor to prepare some tabulars in LaTeX (I 
think he used WinEdt).  The tabulars were OK on his end, but when I used 
reLyx to import the file, they got "bashed" by 1 column for each row.
Where it should have been:


a b c d e
f g h i j
k l m o p

it came out

a b c d
e f g h
i j k l
m n o p

Have you seen it?

The other question concerns giant monstrous figures. We collected a 
whole bunch of little screen shots and want to show them in a table that 
is 6x3. On a single page, we can fit a 3x3, and so the last ones have to 
go on a second page. I did this by creating a figure float, and then 
putting a tabular inside it, and filling the elements with pictures. If 
I put all the snaps in a single figure, then just run off the page, so I 
split them between two figure floats.  You can see the example in my 
document referred to above on page 14-15.

Lyx numbers the Figures as 5 and 6 and I made the title on 6 reflect it 
is a continuation, but I kinda wished that figure was numbered 5b and 
the first one was 5a. I don't have any publication precedent for this 
kind of thing, I'm happy to do whatever you guys recommend as standard.
