Hi there!

I've very recently discovered LyX and LaTeX and - must say - I'm
marveled!

My wife is writing a doctoral thesis in Psicology and she is going mad
with MSOffice formating issues. What I wanted to do was to use LyX to
reformat everything, which would be very easy to do if I satisfy myself
with the default classes. The problem is that the rules at her
University are strict as far as formating is concerned. I wanted a class
that obey those rules so that I could help her with that issue, but I'm
no wizar as far as coding is concerned. I never EVER wrote a single line
of code in ANY language and I will not be able to learn LaTeX in time!
I'm not scared of learning it, but I just don't have the time.

I'm here today to ask you for a class. Yes: shamlessly asking for an
already made class with suitable enviornments! So here are the rules:

- Face page must have:
        - Title
        - Author
        - Doctural thesis made in Bla bla University of bla bla
        - Professors that oriented the project
- Chapters numbering must be roman (I, II, III, IV...etc)
- Chapters numbering and title must have individual page (I personaly
think that this is an UGLY call!!!)
- Quotations must be (Author, year, page)
- Bibliography must obey APA (American Psychological Association) rules
- There must be three Abstract pages (one in Portuguese, other in
English and other in French)
- Headers and footers should only be set in the chapters themselfs (not
in introduction or abstracts or aknowledgments)

Does anyone knows where can I find such a class or be kind enough to
sketch one for me? :)

I'll be forever thankfull!

Best regards,
Leandro Ribeiro
