BTW, you should really file a bug report to Slackware LyX maintainers -- not making the proper symlink/copy is IMNHO bug and it should be fixed. Actually, Debian just doesn't install *.cls files into /usr/share/lyx/ tree but to its proper place in $TEXMF tree in the first place.

Re: disable removing empty lines when cursor is navigated away
I don't think you can disable that, but another workaround for your particular situation is to just type a letter, go get your cut-and- paste, and then copy it over the placeholder letter.

Re: jabref and lyx
Quoting Dominik Waßenhoven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I just looked into it again. If you don't need the double braces, JabRef offers an option to automatically remove them when you load a file. In German it's "Optionen -> Einstellungen -> Beim Laden doppelte geschweifte Klammern um BibTeX-Felder entfernen". If you activate this option, load your .bib file, and save it, the double brackets should have gone. HTH, Dominik.- Thanks, Dominik, Thats it. I should have checked the options more carefully.

And for what it's worth, in English, it's: Options -> Preferences, and then on the General tab: Remove Double Braces Richard

If you want to remove the "{}" signs from the authors, this is easy enough to do. Open the BibTeX file itself in a good editor, in particular, one that will allow you to search and replace using regular expressions. (You could also of course do this with sed or perl or whatever, but using an editor allows you to see what you're doing better.) You'll have to look at the format of the author field to figure out exactly what to do. But suppose it always looks more or less like this: author = { {author name } } Then you could search and replace with these: Search: author\s*=\s*\{\s*\{([^}]+)\}\s*\} Replace: author = { \1 } Yeah, I know: The first one looks like line noise.
