There is a package conflict between apacite and Natbib. Please read through the apacite documentation and specifically the Natbib section: http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apacite/apacite.pdf It seems that apacite needs to be loaded before Natbib, but because of the LyX document settings Natbib will be loaded first. So, the real question to post to the list is how do you load apacite before Natbib? Which I don't know. Cheers, /Bob
