RE: Page headings in Book Style
Thanks to everyone for their help.
Especially Paul, who's solution I chose to sort this out.
My Thesis can now be submitted. :)

Re: Learning LaTeX, where do I begin?
my way was to write from the beginning with lyx :-), too. and than i solved all the special latex problems only with the book of kopka (maybe that there is an english translation) and the rest with the newsgroups: de.comp.text.tex (the german one) comp.text.tex (the english one) Herbert There is indeed an english translation for the Kopka and Daly book "A Guide to Latex 2e", and I found the second edition (published by Addison Wesley) an excelent way to learn latex, as did the majority of my collegues. There is now a third edition available. ----- Phil Scordis Room 2.19, School of Biological Sciences, Stopford Building University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT -

Re: Update Postscript via keyboard
I use Alt-f u (to update) or Alt-f w (to create it from scratch) It seems to be bind file non-specific. Phil On Tue, 1 Aug 2000, J. P. Blevins wrote: Is there is a simple key binding in emacs (or any other mode) that will invoke Update Postscript? Thanks, -Jim

Key binding
I apologise in advance for such dumb questions :) I am using the xemacs key binding (which I have recently discovered after using the emacs one). What I would like to do is bind a key combo to exactly the action that the "Red" TeX button on the menu does. However, I have tried the key binding: \bind "C-z t" "layout LaTeX" And of course this makes the whole paragraph TeX-Red, not just the highlighted region. So, I have tried almost all combinations of upper and lowercase "latex" in the following, but to no avail. \bind "C-z t" "font LaTeX" (including "font-latex") Please would someone put me out of my misery! And while I'm at it. I'm using the acronym package, and it seems to be lacking the functionality that pluralises acronyms, how do I find out which package version is installed on my machine. (I'm using ver 1.1.5 prior to any fixing (rpm)) Thanks Phil --------- Phil Scordis Room 2.19, School of Biological Sciences, Stopford Building University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT -
Re: Key binding
Sorry, it looks like with a bit more digging I have solved it myself: FYI \bind "C-z x" "tex-mode" This solves my key-binding problem. Phil

Bibliograpy Citations
I have a bibligraphy (bibtex) and I would like each \cite to look like the following (Scordis, 1999), (Scordis and Scordis, 1999) or (Scordis et al., 1999). Does anyone know of a way of doing this? I cant seem to find this functionality in the cite or drftcite packages, the latter allows the label to be inserted in the text instead of the number, but the label can't contain spaces so I cant use "Scordis, 1999" as the label. Any ideas? Thanks Phil ----- Phil Scordis Room 2.19, School of Biological Sciences, Stopford Building University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT -

Bibtex in Lyx and/or Klyx
I am having strange problems inserting a bibtex database into both lyx and klyx (the error message below is from lyx 1.1.5, but I have experienced the same problem in Klyx) This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.3.1) The top-level auxiliary file: thesis.aux Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's buffer size 5000 Can anyone tell me why this may be happening? Especially as the bib file, when inserted into another document, works perfectly.

Re: Bibtex in Lyx and/or Klyx
I think I discovered the REAL source of my lyx/bibtex problem. After experimenting with sections of the document to identify which elements were causing the problem, I thought I had discovered the source of the error. It appeared that a very much shortened document with fewer incorrect cites (i.e. ones not yet in my bibtex file) would not produce the buffer overflow error. So I reasoned that the fewer miss-cites I made the better. However, after re-writing all of the cites into the original document the buffer overflow returned. Inspection of the .aux file indicated a number of figure captions that seemed to be quite lengthy, and sure enough commenting out these figures in lyx solved the problem. So it seems there is a strange relationship between the length of figure captions and bibtex processing? Incidentally, in lyx, placing a carriage return in the caption also solved the problem, which gives me the impression that it is a lyx bug?
