Lyx Question

[Robert F. Stockdale IV]

Thank you. However, I found the problem on a LaTeX wiki site. 
Apparently,  LaTeX has only support for eps images and
PDFLaTeX only support for pdf, jpeg or png images, Since this was a 
*.gif, it wouldn't get processed. I have had success with png and jpeg 
images. However, I used gif2png to convert a usps.gif logo to png and it 
loads fine in LyX. However, it still won't show up when I convert the 
document to PDF. Anyone have any ideas?
