Latex-problem: Pagenumbering in combination with two-sided document
Hello, I do not have a LYX - but a LATEX-problem. I hope somebody wants to help me anyways. Ok, I am writing my thesis as a two sided document (Komo-script book). The appendix has roman pagenumbering. The problem is that the last page before the appendix is a right page (odd page number). So that the first side of the appendix should be a right page (even number). Because of the pagenumbering the first page of the appendix is a left page (page number=1). How can I change it so that this page has the page number 1 but is a right page? I do not want to use /cleadoublepage before the appendix because I can not have any more pages. I hope somebody can help me. And sorry that this is not a lyx-specific problem! Christian

Re: Logo in lyx document class letter (g-brief, German)
Thanks a lot el (hope you don`t mind me posting your solution below, I
changed all personal data).
I did the preamble thing and managed to get a Background picture into my
letter (for me it had to be in *.ps format though).
What didn't work however was the ERT in the Name field:
\protect{
\begin{center}My Name
\end{center}
}
This produced (5x):
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
\end{document}
Try typing return to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X return to quit.
Without centering however the Logo and the Name overlap.
So my question:
Is there any other (ERT) way to center within the field Name?
(Paragraph-Options for the Name field only support Left and Block, no
Center)
Thanks

SK,
the short answer is to use g-brief2 and put whatever text you like
into the ReturnAddress field :-)-O
The long answer:
I wanted to center the Name and have a logo on the left in
g-brief2, so I circumvented it by putting:
\usepackage{eso-pic} \usepackage{graphicx}
\newcommand\BackgroundPicture{%
\put(-210,380){\parbox[b][\paperheight]{\paperwidth}{%
\vfill\centering\includegraphics[width=3cm,keepaspectratio]{logo}\vfill}}}
\AddToShipoutPicture{\BackgroundPicture}
into the Preamble (I use logo.jpg, but but a .png will also work) and
\protect{\begin{center}Your Name\end{center}}
as ERT into the Name: field.
You may have to play a little with your settings, in particular if
you use Letter since I use A4 and have adjusted my margins a bit, but
you should get the idea.

(O/T) Latex Question
I realize this is not about lyx but I am using lyx first and then
exporting to latex.
My problem is that the journal I am submitting to (Philosophical
Transactions Royal Society A) doesn't provide a bst file and insists
that bibliography items be placed in the latex file in full.
This is a pain because I use bibtex usually and have all my citations
stored nicely in a bib file. Is there a macro or method for converting a
latex file using a callout to a bib file to one in which all citations
are listed at the end of the file after the command
\begin{thebibliography}{}???
I see that the bbl file lists the references but doesn't seem to be in
the correct format for inserting in the original latex file...
