Formatting Article for PLoS One
I'm trying to format an article for submission to PLoS One. I'm using their BiBTeX style sheet (http://www.plosone.org/static/plos2009.bst) and the bibliography works fine but I get (author?) errors in the text when trying to cite an article as Author [ID]. Apparently, this is because their style file isn't a Natbib style, but changing the bibliography style to default or Jurabib doesn't work.

What you're doing with Section and Section* right now are things those environments were never intended to handle. Sure, you can get close, but ultimately something will go wrong because those environments were meant to handle normal document headings at the level just below Chapter.

I just want problem numbers within each section to start at 1. Personally, I'd have a different numbering system for lab sections, so instead of environment Section *, I'd have an environment Lab that has its own counter, and an environment Labproblem that acts the same way as the Problem environment you currently use in environment Section except is prints and increments the counter for Lab. By the way, you did the right thing making your own Problem environment instead of using Subsection. Thanks, but I actually didn't. That's a downloaded package. (I only use Subsection for actual subsections of the text.) How would you make a Lab or Labproblem environment? What you're doing with Section and Section* right now are things those environments were never intended to handle. Sure, you can get close, but ultimately something will go wrong because those environments were meant to handle normal document headings at the level just below Chapter. That's exactly how I'm using them. I didn't put a Chapter heading in the minimal example, but the actual textbook has six chapters with several sections in each.

Re: Problem Outputting Particular TIFF File
I just reinstalled LyX 1.6.7 on the same computer and it handled both TIFFs just fine. (My other computer runs Ubuntu and LyX 2.0 isn't available for it yet.) So it looks like a LyX problem, not a MiKTeX problem (or maybe there's something in the way they interact).

Re: Problem Outputting Particular TIFF File
Hi Mark, I haven't changed anything in the past couple of weeks, when I reinstalled MiKTeX and reconfigured LyX. (BTW, I just tried out a different TIFF file, and it worked fine.) The flowchart is something I copied from a PDF and then edited in Paint. All the other graphics were generated by R, so there could be something there.

Should I uninstall LyX and MiKTeX and then installing an older version of MiKTeX? I HAVE successfully exported PDFs from LyX on this computer with its 64-bit Windows 7.

Try exporting and (with LyX still running) use Windows Explorer to check the LyX temporary directory. (If you're not sure where that is, check Tools Preferences Paths Temporary directory. I could pretty much tell you from memory where it is on XP, but Win 7 moved stuff around, and I'm not on a Win box right now.) Assuming you can find the directory, if the PDF file is sitting in it, then the problem may be something with access permissions for the directory where the source document is (unlikely, but possible). I tried that, changing the temp directory to Documents. I saw lots of intermediate files but not the PDF. Are Acrobat Reader and Foxit on your system command path (meaning: can you run either one from a DOS prompt)? If not, it's possible that adding one or both to your system path and then reconfiguring LyX might fix the problem. How do I do that? -- - Jane Shevtsov Ecology Ph.D. candidate, University of Georgia co-founder, www.worldbeyondborders.org All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers...
