Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figure caption in wrong position! LYX

[Stan-K]

Hi, I'm new with Latex and I'm using Lyx for my thesis in High school but unfortunately I have a small problem.

This is how a caption under a figure looks like in my thesis:

The figure it's not even in the center of the page!

I'm trying to have a caption like this:

How can i do this? I have to download a package? or..?
Please Help!

Thank you!

P.S. I know that most of you don't like Lyx, but I'm already at the end of my work and i don't want to change it right now, and I'm sorry for the (way too) big image and post!

Hi Stan,

welcome to the board!

We support LyX too. It's just the case that our most active users mainly use LaTeX. The good thing is, that many LyX problems can be fixed using LaTeX.

We have a LyX subforum, I will move your question there, a bit later.

Regarding the problem, I suggest post your example LyX document, which shows the problem (as minimal as possible) as attachment to a post. Once we can test and verify a problem, we usually can fix it. Otherwise it would mean talking with vague descriptions instead of a concrete solution.
