Yes, I copied the "GIF see Image formats" entry from the index of a 
just-compiled User's Guide. It's there, along with similar entries for 
JPG, SVG, PNG and EPS. In case it's relevant the index has numerous 
other see references, e.g., "Bindings see Key Bindings", "Formulas see 
Math", "Glossary see Nomenclature", "Ligatures see Typography", and as a 
subheading under "LYX", "Reconfigure see Reconfiguration of LYX".
