$8^{th}$ Floor
in tex (red) for an easy solution or, if you don't like this
writing in mathmode ($...$) choose \raisebox
8\raisebox{1ex}{\small th} Floor
or define a new command sups

i do not understand, why you don't use lyx for this. in a float you
can put as much figures as you like side by side or one above the other
or a mix of them.
I guess I just needed to play around a little more. I was just using

In the Layout->dokument-> window you will see: font: helvetica, but the dokument itself will be in helvetica? I can´t understand this. I also have a template for my letters. It is based on letter(german). I changed the font to helvetica, so the dokument will appear with helvetica on the screen and print.

Also th appendix will be written in times, even when I mark the whole dokument and change the font to helvetica. funny things regards Tina

In fact, a class designer is free to do these choices. What happens is

Thanks, that's what I suspected. While the default classes are in
general faithful to the printed result, many classes derived from them
havbe not been checked correctly. Jose', it seems that you should
check the NextNoIndent setting of the sectionning styles of your
classes.
The AMS classes could use a bit of proofreading too, since fonts are
completely wrong in some cases.

That's what Paragraph and Subparagraph do in the standard document
classes. Some of the section commands do that too in AMS styles.

That's a different problem: it happens that the Helvetica setting
replaces the sans serif font of LyX with helvetica, but leaves the
normal serif font unchanged. I agree that this is not intuitive at
all, but our (limited) font support relies on the (limited) psnfss
packages for now.
If you really want to have you whole document in helvetica (not a font
I would choose, but... ;), the following magic incantation in your
latex preamble should help:
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{phv}
Note that this will not change the look on screen.

insert references in multipart document
Hallo Lyxers, in a multipart document I want to include a cross-reference to a label which is situated in another file.

One workaround is, to change to the label, include the reference there, cut and paste it to the right location, but ... Are there any other solutions to the problem?
