\center starts a "center" environment and expects an \endcenter at some point
(it the low level form of \begin{center} \end{center}.
You most probably are looking for \centering .
If this fails as well, you can try \hfill*\hfill* .

The following code in the preamble should help:

I suppose the last figure is large and therefore postponed to a separate page or suitable position.

Re: Adding a non-numbered chapter to Table of Contents
I had this problem recently and it was discussed on this list.
I have a Chapter* with a title of 'Preface' in a document that I don't
want numbered (it doesn't make sense to number a preface as chapter
1), but I do want it in the TOC. The solution was to insert this TeX
code immediately after the title of the Chapter*.
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Preface}
In your case, substitute your title of the Chapter* for 'Preface' in
the command.
You can change the word 'chapter' to 'section' or 'subsection'
depending on how you wish the non-numbered chapter to appear in the
TOC.

Adding a non-numbered chapter to Table of Contents
Hallo everyone, sorry for my mails but we are in a hurry and the lyx wiki is not helping me, google neither :( When I create a TOC in Lyx, it lists all the chapters, sections, etc. in my book. I can configure it from the document properties, no problem.. then, another feature in lyx is adding Chapters, Sections, etc. with a "*" simbol next to them. Those entries are not numbered or listed in the TOC. Now, I need to put in the TOC one of these special entries, a special *Chapter. I was sure there had to be an option to add a custom entry to TOC... or a way to solve this in general. Any help please? Another problem is a little bit complicated to explain: I inserted the TOC and after that, the first chapter is the famous *Chapter I was talking about above. My second problem is that in the page where this *Chapter is, on the top of the page I still see the name "Table of Contents".. this probably happens, because Lyx is confused, since there's no ordinary Chapter after the TOC.. in fact, on the next page there's Chapter 1, and on the top left of the page I can see the small name: "Chapther 1" (the name of the chapter is of course on the top right corner as usual). So, the problem is that I have still "Table of Contents" on the top left corner of the page with the *Chapter. Cheers, Luca

When you have set the document language to e.g. French, LyX needs to assure that eventual occurring accents are handled correctly by LaTeX. What you set will of course be used, so when you have set another language than English, you get correctly language-specific LaTeX commands in the code LyX creates in the background. regards Uwe

This gets rid of the annoying blue underlining. However, the LyX code still contains all of the language markup. Can you completely disable all of the language "features" in LyX?

Re: TOC - Table of Contents - Location
Hi Vincent, I don't want to bother you, but seems like something is not
working in my environment, maybe you could give me a opinion.
When I use
\renewcommand\contentsname{ANYTHING}
things works fine
but when I use the \CENTER
\renewcommand\contentsname{\center Anything}
Nothing is printed in the screen from this point on
(Lets imagine I put it in the 4th page...so this is not printed (in DVI
or PDF) and none of the pages that forwards it..)
Do you have any Idea of what is going on?!?
The strange is that if I use the \CENTER on a empty Lyx document, things
works just fine and the word get in the Center of screen.
Could you give me your opinion?
Thank you very much

Dear Marco, There is no port or package for tex4ht and it is not included in teTeX which FreeBSD uses. You have to visit the web page of tex4ht to download it and you need to compile it manually. I don't think it will be enabled even if you install lyx-1.6, but the (unauthorized) port of lyx-1.6 itself can be downloaded from: http://www.int.otaru-uc.ac.jp/lyx-howto/install/port-lyx-1.6.2.tar.bz2 Please expand it in /usr/ports/print and make it. LyX 1.6 will not be introduced in system ports until the overhaul of LaTeX system in FreeBSD completes (which is taking time somehow). Koji
