Re: Two problems with float:tables
I have tried the method suggested by you, but I get compiling errors. The LyX file is enclosed. attached the correct file. With right mouse button clicking on the minipage button you can change the width of the minipage. I set it to 30% of columnwidth. It works fine now! Thanks, Herbert! I have still a question: how can one use LyX to insert the caption inside a minipage? Paul

Re: Two problems with float:tables
1.diminish the horizontal length of the caption; Place the float in a minipage? it is not possible to have a float inside a minipage. It's the other way round: the caption can be inside the float. I thank both (Angus and Herbert) for your help! I have just tried the way suggested by Angus (putting the float table inside a minipage) and it works fine. Probably, my table is not a pure float, since I have selected the "here definitely placement". Paul

Otherwise it makes no sense, because the tabular may be of a larger size than the minipage and then the tabular is not horizontally centered. Herbert

I have tried the method suggested by you, but I get compiling errors.

attached the correct file.
With right mouse button clicking on the
minipage button you can change the width of
the minipage. I set it to 30% of columnwidth.
