I have no problem going the ERT route, especially since it is scattered all
throughout my document. Implementing this looks like it works though. Hard to
know exactly if the spacing is correct until I print it out and measure it like
the thesis editors but all appears correct.

erratic spacing between tables and figures
I have one last (hopefully) formatting issue to resolve with my thesis before I can turn it back into the reviewers. I am attempting to place each table and figure on their own separate page. The problem is I try going to insert>formatting>new page and also page break in between the two figures or tables but LyX seems to just ignore the command and still formats the two figures on the same page.

Re: Thesis formatting
It's hard to guess what you're supposed to have without knowing anything about your latex class. What's obvious from the excerpt you've given is that \@degree is meant to be an internal command of the class (because of the @). There must be some part of the class file that fills the \@degree command with user's data. Where can we find the class file?

Then, VFill is a stretchable vertical space that could help you keep the
things on one page.
This would work if the cover page was actually written in LyX but instead it is
defined in the class file. I specify the degree type in the preamble . I
manage to remove the blank page being created but the way the degree is defined
in the class I am not sure how to break it up.
{
\vss
A \@thesistype ~submitted to the faculty of\\
The University of Utah\\
in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of
\vss
}
\@degree \\
You can see the \@degree\\ simply takes what is written in the preamble and
pastes in there as one line rather than “Master of Science” double space “In”
double space “Nuclear Engineering” I managed to get it formatted properly by
adding the following in the class file after \@degree \\
\@degree \\
\mbox{} \\
in \\
\mbox{} \\
Nuclear Engineering \\
\mbox{} \\
I would like to make this a little more robust and allow for others to use the
class file without having to edit it as much as I have. In the preamble I
specify the degree by entering after the \degree{} entry so I tried to add
something like \degreein{} where someone can enter the information and replaced
“Nuclear Engineering” in the class file with \@degreein but I get compile
errors. Is there a better way to go about this?

By TeX font style switches, you mean the {\em ...}?
This was produced automatically from bibtex. The paragraph that produced the
problem was from the bibliography, this was the .bbl file

Re: Fwd: [LYX] Trouble using the LNCS class/style
Dear Jürgen, thank you. The two titles are not subsequent, they have body text in between. Although the error yielded by LyX [1] persists, adding \maketitle in ERT actually renders the title correctly. So the issue can be considered as solved if the error can be considered as "normal" for this situation. Thanks Jürgen, JON HAITZ [1] Error in latexParagraphs: You should not mix title layouts with normal ones. ..\..\src\output_latex.cpp (1112): Error in latexParagraphs: You should not mix title layouts with normal ones.
