Help Missing number, treated as zero float errors(solved) + new question
I use ver1.3.0 Lyx support ver 1.7 on cygwin with windows XP Professional
All was fine until today I added about 20 new figure floats. some of these
were floats with two figures inside one on top of the other and these were
inserted with captions under the figures.
On running view DVI I got inundated with errors about 66 of them each
starts with the first error saying Missing number treated as zero some say
latex error not in outer par mode.
Can anyone help, i don't want to go to word with my thesis having come so far
Thanks

SOLVED
I used the package morefloats this is in ctan - misc folder.
I also used the package afterpage and put in the preamble :
\usepackage{morefloats}
\usepackage{afterpage}
and to flush all floats at a particularly difficult section used in Tex
\afterpage{\clearpage}
It seems to work for now but morefloats has limits - see documentation
NEW question for the lyx/latex gurus
1. I am sure i have read in this list some way using latex code to force
printing of floats within 1-2 pages of the section it is first placed in
otherwise to automatically issue the \afterpage {\clearpage command}
2. Is there some way to direct latex to shrink size of some floats by say
10-20% if it allows them to stay with the section and follow rule 1. I can
see this visually possible in my document but have not come across any
suggestions in either the Lamport book or the users lists.
thanks
