I can't help you in your quest to get figure/text wrapping to work correctly (it's really a LaTeX problem and not a LyX one) but I would strongly recommend against text wrapping in a thesis unless you really are talking about _many_ _very small_ figures. Having short text lines (<50% of a typical A4 line width) does not make for a smoother reading experience, in my experience (having examined many PhD and MSc theses...). I think text wrapping around figures only makes sense with larger page formats (newsletters) and/or where space is at a premium (conference papers, newsletters again), neither of which applies here. A useful alternative is to consider using subfigures, grouping together 2, 4, ... small figures into one LyX "figure". Might make more sense depending on what your figures are. Just something to consider... and maybe help you avoid wasting time trying to get LyX/LaTeX doing text warpping properly? cheers, eric
