Browse button or just write to the box the name of the file
(link from the file is found by libkpathsea). There are no *.b*
files in /tmp/lyx*/*/ directory. However, when run with -dbg
latex LyX indicates that it found the BibTeX database (see
attached log in the file lyx-latex.log).
2) The most recently used documents list (bottom of the File
menu) does not work by keyboard. Whatever combination of numeric
keys I use, LyX doesn't open the first file in the list. What's
wrong with me (output of lyx -dbg key is also attached)?

How does social context influence formation, organization, and survival
of a community? Choose any two sources to illustrate your point.

The goal of this paper is to explain how social context influences formation,
organization, and survival of a community.

In order to be able to work on the explanation, we have to first recognize
what we mean by the term

definition is far from being unequivocal.

Re: reference page output - underlining instead of italics
1) Nothing against author of makebst, but I believe, that better way how to deal with such minuscule requirements (``required style is same as something.bst, with only this change'') is to find .bst file which corresponds to your requirements (with small changes -- like underlined journal title, which BTW is pretty bad residue of typewriter thinking) and then change that small thing. 2) There are many good reasons why underlining is not encouraged in good typography (it used to be just a brutal hack for typewriters which were not able to italicise). Therefore, Donald Knuth did not make any primitives for underlining. Good guys therefore had to make special package (soul.sty) which have commands for underlining (and overwriting) for LaTeX. Conclusion? Read soul.dvi and btxhak.dvi and make your adjustments.

The problem is that is human sciences there is no choice, we
HAVE to use the first way (quote the entire reference eache
time we mention the book, or the article, in a footnote).
Try this:
1) use oxford_en as your bibliography style (the second option in
the Insert/ToC../Bibliography dialog)
2) add to your preamble this macro:
% % How to make fool of oxford.bst so that it works well even
% % (supposedly) with LyX.
\usepackage[default,none]{oxford}
\let\textcite=\cite
\renewcommand{\cite}[2][]{%

Then everything should more or less work. If you need both
citation in the footnote and bibliography list in the end of the
document (which is reasonable), then do not use anything below
the line (including) \let\oldbibliography

Aerosols in the Arctic follow a seasonal cycle.
Concentrations accumulate in winter and spring, reaching a maximum in April,
rapidly dissipating during summer.
It has long been recognized that high springtime aerosol concentrations,
dubbed
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Arctic Haze
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
, are due to anthropogenic activities.
More recently it has been suggested that Arctic Haze might indirectly alter
the surface radiation balance by indirectly increasing cloud albedo (Twomey,
1991), or emissivity (Garrett et al., 2002).
The latter effect may be particularly important during spring, when aerosol
concentrations are high, clouds are sufficiently thin to be gray-bodies,
and downwelling longwave flux dominates the surface radiation balance.
Evaluating the effects of aerosols on downwelling surface flux during the
Arctic spring is difficult since there exist very few

measurements during for this period.
However, detailed surface sampling and remote sensing measurements at the
North Slope of Alaska (NSA) CMDL and ARM laboratories near Barrow, Alaska
allow investigation of this issue in the current absence of field programs.

from font catalog used by a font foundry. It means you don't
have to remember short names of tfm files and/or short names
of NFSS font families. The user interface of this macro is the
same in \LaTeX{} and in plain but there are two independent
implementations of this macro: first and more elaborate: based
only on plain macros; second: based on NFSS macros for
\LaTeX{} users.
Do you think that this thing may help in creating more
human-friendly system for LyX managing fonts (so that for example
I would have three fields in Layout/Document setting \rmdefault,
\sfdefault, and \ttdefault with selection from full name fonts
(i.e., Helvetica instead of phv)?
What do you think about this?

The point is: You can do that, but it hurts a bit. So if you really want it
and know what you do you can do it. But you don't do it accidentally.
If using standard article, then you can redefine [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is
actually not so difficult. This is the original definition of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (taken directly from article.cls):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\newpage
\null
\vskip 2em%
\begin{center}%

Copy this whole piece of code into your Layout/Document/Preamble and
View/DVI again (just to check, that everything is OK). Then you can play
with it a little bit. For example, I really prefer boldfaced title so
I change [EMAIL PROTECTED] in this way:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\newpage
\null
\vskip 2em%
\begin{center}%
\let \footnote \thanks
{\LARGE \bfseries [EMAIL PROTECTED] \par}% %\bfseries added here
\vskip 1.5em%

\end{tabular}\par}%
\vskip 1em%
{\large [EMAIL PROTECTED]
\end{center}%
\par
\vskip 1.5em}
In other cases I do not want to have date in a title of my package.
There are some tricks for doing that easy way (either add empty \date{}
into Layout/Document/Preamble or just put hardspace into Date style --
which both leads to the same) documented in LyX documentation. However,
both of them have a disadvantage that they leave too obviously huge
space after title. It is better to delete part which typesets date in
title.

%%{\large [EMAIL PROTECTED] % You can of course just deleted this
% part of code altogether.
\end{center}%
\par
\vskip 1.5em}
And of course, you can resolve your problem with left aligned title in
this way as well. If you take a look into the original definition of
[EMAIL PROTECTED] above, whole [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] typesetting
(which
obviously contains what you want title and author be) is in center
environment. Therefore just removing \begin{center} and \end{center}
would do what you want. What will including something like this make
with your document?

The last advice: if you need to understand LaTeX commands take a look at
lshort.dvi in your TeX distribution and run 'info latex' (or LaTeX2e
help file if you are on Windows) for reference to individual commands of
LaTeX. For example be sure before your own fiddling with [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
understand difference between command and declaration, i.e. between
\bfseries and \textbf. You should be also aware of subtle differences
between effects of some similar environments and declarations,
e.g., \begin{center}\end{center} creates new paragraph (as every
environment does), whereas \centering does not (so you have to \par in
the end of paragraph).
Enjoy,

Not only like a journal -- many journals are created with LaTeX :-).
1. Using the article layout always add the date to the rendered text.
Is it possible to turn off the date. I am writing a paper for
a journal, is article the best layout for me or are there any other
layouts available?
Article is fine, plus some journals (Kluwer, Springer, ...) have their
own classes, and some of them are supported by LyX. Also you may try
article (koma-script), which is more flexible than standard article.
As of date -- see
http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/titlepage/titlepage.phtml#date
2. For a particular layout, how do i change the default font settings for
paragraph, section, subsection etc. I have tried exploring the
LayoutDocument,Character but these donot change setting globally for a
particular environmental depth.
No, they don't. What exactly would you like to do?
3. How do i change the type of numbering of section. For section the
numbering is like this '1' but i want a '.' to like this '1.' Is this
possible? Moreover i want my sections to start from number 3, how can i do
it?
Koma-script has it as a standard, and for normal article put this into
Layout/Document/Preamble:
\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}.}
4. How do i change the format of my bibliography, can i add my own bst files?
Sure, in BibTeX dialog (Insert/TOC/BibTeX) the bottom field (Style) is
for name of the bst file. Also if using any of natbib styles, do not
forget to check Natbib in Layout/Document/Bibliography.
Is there any repository of bst files for different journals?
There is (try directory.google.com for BibTeX), but better is to try
homepage of your journal (many of them have a special page for LaTeX
authors with particular style files.
phew! those are the ones i can think off now.
Thanks a lot.
You're very welcome.
