Hello Hatim,

thanks for the suggestion.
However, the tutorial is the wrong place for special things and 
especially for TeX code. Sec. 4.3 of the EmbeddedObjects manual 
describes details of margin notes.

This is not that easy. The correct command is
\captionof{〈type〉}[〈move〉]{〈caption〉}
see http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/capt-of/capt-of.pdf

The problem is that you have to define a special float environment 
before you can use \captionof. Because one does not want to see e.g.
"Figure x:" as caption of a margin note. To define your own float type 
the package 'float' has to be loaded and one needs LaTeX background 
knowledge to define the float type.
For the command \captionof one also needs to load the package 'capt-of' 
in the document preamble.

I think that is too complicated to describe it in the EmbeddedObjects 
manual. This manual has to be compilable and adding this info would 
require 2 more LaTeX packages to install.

Therefore I think you should add the info to the LyX wiki. Maybe to this 
page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Numbering

thanks and regards
