Hi,

I'm having a devil of a time making LyX distribute extra vertical whitespace it is adding when it encounters a graphic in a 'proper' style. Consider the following.

Document Class: book
Page Layout (Custom): Custom (11.25" x 8.75")
Page Margins (Custom): 1.25" x 1.25" x 1.25" x 1.25"
Float Placement: Here definitely

Here is what I get:

------------------------------------
Figure 1.1 Graphic
------------------------------------
GRAPHIC IMAGE GOES HERE
------------------------------------




        Text starts here.
[END of PAGE]

Here is what I am trying to get:

------------------------------------
Figure 1.1 Graphic
------------------------------------
GRAPHIC IMAGE GOES HERE
------------------------------------
        Text starts here.




[END of PAGE]

If I change the 'Float Placement:' to default, then everything works as desired. However, it means that the Figures are no longer with the appropriate paragraph, which makes for a confusing document.

Also, if I change the margin and page layout settings to use the defaults, then LyX performs as desired. The downside here is that the PDF is then generated at the incorrect size, which renders it useless for printing. Also quite undesirable.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!
Dave
