I got it. Not a regression at all, just my lack of knowledge. I have not used LyX or LaTeX enough to have developed a mind-map of how it works.
Once I realised the table problem was not really a APA6 issue I went back, reread Liviu Andronc's advice from my other other thread and managed to get it to work. xtable creates a float and I had it within an float and that seems to have been the main problem. Mind you, by the time I was done the other day, I may have introduced and removed a few others. This has been an excellent start to a Monday morning Thanks a lot ________________________________ From: Scott Kostyshak <skost...@princeton.edu> To: John Kane <jrkrid...@yahoo.ca> Cc: Jacob Bishop <bishop.ja...@gmail.com>; "lyx-users@lists.lyx.org" <lyx-users@lists.lyx.org> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 9:21:00 AM Subject: Re: APA6 seems to have stopped working after upgrade to LyX 2.0.6 On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 8:58 AM, John Kane <jrkrid...@yahoo.ca> wrote: > Amazing.

So this is a \maketitle problem.

Another hint that it was a knitr problem was the error you got.

Great, let us know once you've narrowed down the problem. Thanks for keeping us updated. > I, obviously, am just floundering around with knitr/LyX/R but I really like > it.

The savings in compile time alone look fantastic. Yihui's site has many treasures! Best, Scott
