Thanks, I did that and at least things started to work but now I have the
following issue.
I have put the file you pointed me to (Harvard style) named elsevier.bst in
/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/natbib/
along with the other files already there.
I have selected elsevier as my style file, and the test.bib bibtex file which
came with the latex distribution as the bibtex file. I have added
\usepackage[round,authoryear]{natbib}
to the preamble using Layout->Preamble.
For some reason unknown to me, references show up in the output as:
Author (year) e.g. BSI (1973)
rather than:
(Author, year) e.g. (BSI, 1973)
I have been playing around with the preamble line:
\bibpunct[,]{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
but although I can change the parentheses I do not seem to be able to move
them or get the supposed comma between author and year to show up at all.
Has anyone met this before? Or is it just me? I expect though that I'm just
getting something totally wrong as usual.
Thanks again,
Adrian.
