Hello there!
I use the Windows version of Lyx 1.5.6. I cannot understand the existing instructions for how to use different reference styles. Believe me, I have tried, but the answers are simply not comprehensible to people like me, who while not computer illiterate, are not intimately familiar with the structure of Lyx. I want to produce author (year) or author [year] style references in the text. Checking natbib under Documents/Settings/Bibliography does not seem to do this despite "author-year" appearing in the natbib style box. When I go to Insert/Citation, the Formatting dialog box is grayed out. I have downloaded a number of .bst files, for example, qje.bst, but Lyx bombs when running Latex to produce printed output. I am willing to install whatever style files I need, but I don't have any way of figuring out what I need. Any help out there? Thanks in advance, Curtis Simon
