You can do a step like, 1. insert->floats->figure 2. type your caption in Figure: ------ then put the cursor in the first sentence of caption (that what I did) 3. insert->graphics 4. put the cursor left of the graph select command layout->paragraph toggle the centered alignment. | "Argument of \@caption has an extra }. | ...946HvIigl/lyx_tmpbuf0/_home_cornell_Fig1}} ...
