Your Bibliography Environment -- 1 min poll
Dear all, LyX supports a range of different bibliography environments. Some of them are very mature and well integrated others are relatively new. This is to find out what LyX users mainly use. Please completed this quick poll (two questions) and I will post the results here in about two weeks. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LKNGDFB Many thanks! Best wishes, Sam

Hifza, if you have your file on dropbox you can use LyX on the cloud through the website www.rollapp.com without the need to have it installed on your computer.

Re: Urgent help needed; writing my thesis and no document class available
Steve Hifza is almost certainly running Windows (see miktex). Installing Ubuntu as a dual boot, if you know what you are doing is probably one to two hours including backups, creating a bootable USB stick etc. If you are not too confident (see me for info) probably twice as long just for rechecking instructions etc. You also need a handy USB stick. The first time I did it, it was a *bit *scary! http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html Lyx probably can be installed in 15-20 minutes with a decent internet connection, http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3 It' a rather drastic approach but it should work if the situation is really desperate.

The ERT (Insert TeX code) window is designed to enter directly LaTeX code.
