Check the section "BibTeX style files" and fetch whichever one suits your fancy. This must be installed in your LaTeX distribution's file tree, someplace where LaTeX will find it. I park mine in .../texmf- local/bibtex/bst/elsevier. After obtaining the file(s), you need to rebuild your LaTeX file databases so that it knows the files are there. How you do this is somewhat distribution-specific, but it could mean running texhash or mktexlsr. (In MiKTeX, you run the MiKTeX Options utility and use the Refresh button.) Then go into LyX and do Edit-> Reconfigure, and you should be in business. -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
