excellent - that worked. however, i feel it is a strange place to enter an extra option to natbib. shouldnt these options:
round (default) for round parentheses; square for square brackets; curly for curly braces; angle for angle brackets; colon (default) to separate multiple citations with colons; comma to use commas as separaters; authoryear (default) for authoryear citations; numbers for numerical citations; super for superscripted numerical citations, as in Nature ; sort orders multiple citations into the sequence in which they appear in the list of references; sort&compress as sort but in addition multiple numerical citations are compressed if possible (as 36, 15); longnamesfirst makes the first citation of any reference the equivalent of the starred variant (full author list) and subsequent citations normal (abbreviated list); sectionbib redefines \thebibliography to issue \section* instead of \chapter*; valid only for classes with a \chapter command; to be used with the chapterbib package; nonamebreak keeps all the authors' names in a citation on one line; causes overfull hboxes but helps with some hyperref problems be checkboxes availible when one selects bibliography->use natbib ??? martin On 04/11/05, Juergen Spitzmueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Martin A.
