Hi there, I think this is more a LaTeX question than LyX, but... I have some LyX documents that include (via graphicx.sty) graphics files supplied in a variety of formats (png, jpg, PDF) that I output as PDFs using pdflatex. This works fine on Windows (XP, Vista using MiKTeX v2.7) and Linux (F

Odd problems with spacing

2004-11-29 Thread Guy Hindell
I'm using the windows build of lyx 1.3.3 (old, I know. I'll move up to the more recent version when I get a chance) so the following little issues might not still be present in the current version. Alternatively, they may be something to do with MikTex which I'm using to generate PDFs. Anyhow. Fi

Figure floats mid sentence

2004-11-12 Thread Guy Hindell
Can anyone suggest a way (if any exists) of preventing or discouraging latex from breaking a sentence across a page break where a figure float occupies the whole of the next page, essentially interposing a figure in a sentence? Sort of like this. Page1 Text of first page etc. etc.
