You don't need to change the reference format.
El, Actually, I do; at least the style as used by the LyX bibliography. Reading the .bst files I saw that the authordate[1-4] follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 13th Ed. (I have the 15th edition which I used for the references in my book.) So I looked at the chicagoa.bst and saw that it, too, has the format I want so I changed the style to that and the deprecated font names went away. Thanks very much to pushing me to look at the style settings. Now I wonder if there's a pdf or web page that shows how each style looks. That would be a handy reference. Enjoy your holiday and lentil soup (do you add sausage to it?) Best regards, Rich
