Thanks, it works fine. I have try to insert a ".fig" figure (since I use xfig to make my graphics), hoping that Lyx would handle it also. When I try to view the pdf document (with pdflatex) I have the following error : "Missing $ inserted" "I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed." Have you perhaps an idea (else I simply export all my figures in eps) ?
