How to change the default setting of inserting a graph?
Dear lyx users, I am using lyx 2.0 on windows 7. I just keep lyx as simple editor of writing progress report every week. Often I need to insert figures, but the figures usually have different original size. Lyx seems to insert graphs using their original size as default. But sometimes big figure even exceeds the right boundary of the page. Then I need to make it smaller manually through the graph dialog box. So I want to change the default to be like as wide as the text width. How can I do in the preamble? I am simply using the document class "article". Thanks for any help! -- Cheers, Zhaorong Wang "Our first endeavors are purely instinctive prompting of an imagination vivid and undisciplined. As we grow older reason asserts itself and we become more and more systematic and designing. But those early impulses, though not immediately productive, are of the greatest moment and may shape our very destinies." —Nikola Tesla
Re: Author-Year-Page Citation Style
You don't need \usepackage{natbib} in the preamble, but select the
natbib option in Document -> Settings -> Bibliography. There you can
also select Author,Year. For square brackets add "square" to the
options in Document -> Settings -> Document Class -> Custom.
I hope this helps. Regards.

This is almost always due to a problem in the BibTeX file, e.g., a
missing year somewhere, or possibly a Unicode character that is messing
things up. Exporting to LaTeX and running everything manually from a
terminal:
latex myfile
bibtex myfile
should help. Error messages from the latter are what to look for.

Did you try Natbib numerical style?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

P.S. I can live with a numerical style if I have to -- the journal will

Author-Year-Page Citation Style
I have a document in the Article (Elsevier) class, with Natbib Author-
Year selected under Bibliography and \usepackage{natbib} in the
preamble. I have a bibtex generated bibliography using the .bst style
file of the journal which is in the folder with my document.
The bibliography is coming out fine, but the citations in the text
should be, say, [Newton, 1999, 407] and I'm getting a numerical style

Frederick, the default behavior in most classes that have chapters
(article, e.g., does not) is for the footnote counter to be reset at the
start of each chapter. What class are you using?

Please try the footmisc package. Something like,
\usepackage[perpage]{footmisc}
Remember, it needs at least two passes to do this correctly.

There have been some reports of such errors under Windows 7. They seem to involve LyX's not finding the correct Python interpreter. Perhaps someone on Windows can help with this.

Re: biblatex-chicago
As for the footnotes, you first have to use a biblatex style that
automatically makes use of "\footcite". For this, you need to add the
"citestyle" option
citestyle=verbose-trad1 . What I usually do is that I renew a command
like "\citep" into "\autocite" adding the following command to the
preamble:
\renewcommand\citep{\autocite}
As for the lack of references in the footnotes, it might be due to the
lack of the bibliography's full path in the preamble.
Try this and let me know. Regards.

Please see chapter 5 of the Customization manual. The process is
described there. In this case, you just need to wrap the preamble code
you want in:

EndPreamble
and then add the module declaration code at the top. Oh, and don't
forget the format tag, which must be the first non-comment,
non-whitespace line.

Many thanks! It now compiles without an error message. However, the
result is incorrect. The key is being printed instead of the citation,
and it is in the text, not in a footnote. Example:
This is a test.aristotle:metaphy:gr
If I put \footcite{aristotle:metaphy:gr} in ERT, I get get a footnote
number in the text as follows:
This is a test.1
but in the footnote itself only the key prints:
1 aristotle:metaphy:gr
Many thanks for helping me with this. I've been trying to get this to
work for a long time.

Create my own module
Dear LyX users,
I am using LyX 2.0.0 (on both Windows and Linux).
How can I create my own module and add it to the list in "Document
Settings"?
For instance, I have put the following commands in the preamble in order
to create a "balanced index"
\RequirePackage{multicol}
\renewenvironment{theindex}{
\columnseprule 0pt\relax
\columnsep 35pt\relax
\chapter*{\indexname}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\@mkboth{\MakeUppercase \indexname}{\MakeUppercase \indexname}
\thispagestyle{plain} \parindent 0pt\relax \parskip 0pt \@plus .3pt\relax
\let\item\@idxitem}
{\end{multicols}}
Nevertheless, if I were able to collect these commands in a module, I
could use them in a much easier way.
Thank you,
Francesco
