2 questions regarding float placement

2010-03-22 Thread Venable
Hi LyX-users,

I have 2 questions regarding the placement of floats and the numbers
assigned to them in cross-references.

The first is whether it is possible to have to order in which floats
are referred to in the text determine the order in which they appear
in the final document.

For example, suppose I have 2 tables, A and B, but I don't know
ex-ante which will logically appear first in my final document. I
would like for this to be automatically determined by the one that is
first referred to in the text. Is this possible?

Second, I would like to know how best to maintain consistency in table
and figure numbering between a paper and a corresponding Beamer
presentation.

That is, suppose I have a paper with three tables but in a brief
presentation only want to use the first and third of these. For
example, the second is just a variant on the first that is worth
including in a paper but not needed for a time-limited presentation.
It would be useful for the numbering in the presentation to match the
numbering in the paper, so as not to confuse people in the audience
who have a copy of the paper.

Thanks.
