I can paste Ascii text into the resulting box and my main text

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.
I'm a total novice with LyX. If I could view the commands referred
to in the error boxes I might be able to fix these problems but
can't even figure out how to do that.

I had never used the wrap figure function, so I played around with it
a little. I couldn't reproduce your error message, but I had trouble
with inserting a picture and it actually didn't show up (although
text would show up) in the pdf file until ...... I set the picture
size to match the wrap figure size. The default was 50 col% on my
machine. Give that a try and it may just work.
