LyX and AEA manuscripts
Hi All -- I am preparing a manuscript according to AEA specs following http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AEA and using the aea.lyx template. I hope to ask a few rudimentary questions here, and perhaps ultimately we can improve the wiki. Here's the first: 1) In aea.lyx, the documentation reads: Also, choose typesetting mode as the class option. Available options are: finalmode to typeset the manuscript for submission for publication reviewmode to typeset a blind review copy draftmode to typeset a draft copy with 1.5-line spacing (or your own choice of spacing). Draftmode is listed by default. I cannot edit this to finalmode, even upon unchecking the box predefined. Does anyone know how to change to finalmode? Thank you!

Peter,
you should copy the whole block of code and paste it into your
preamble (DocumentSettingsLatex Preamble)
Then, change the first line to read
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]
(renew instead of new)
Now you are ready to play with the parameters as Richard suggested.
Cheers,
Stefano
Stefano, Richard thanks. After some toying, the following worked:
1) I added to the preamble the full block Richard described, replacing the
at's with at symbols (this replacement was probably obvious to everyone
except
me.) I also changed the first line as you suggested.
2) I added \setlength\itemindent{-.5in} to the block, and changed
\leftmargin\labelwidth to \setlength\leftmargin{.5in}
The bibliography style I am using, aea.bst, seems to use empty labels rather
than, for example, numbers to enumerate bibliography items. Hence, rather than
playing with the labelwidth, which had no effect for me, I indented by a
negative amount and then shoved the whole list back to the right the same
amount.
A pain, but it's done! Thanks, all.

hanging indentation in bibiography (using lyx bibtex)
Hi all -- A journal has requested that the hanging indent in my bibliography be exactly .5 inches. Is there an easy way to do this using lyx? I am using lyx 2.0, bibtex, article class, natbib, and aea.bst. Many thanks! Peter (I tried searching the forum on this topic, and could only find outdated or inapplicable responses.)

Presumably self-typesetting was one way to keep costs low, and the online-only nature made perfect standardization of type less critical.

Re: Hide tracked changes?
Yes this was exactly what I was looking for -- the ability to toggle the visibility of those blue edits. Matts I second Matts' request. Especially for heavy editing of a document, it would be a nice feature to be able to edit away, with changes tracked in the background. All those blue texts can make a document unreadable. Is there any way users can support efforts for such a project, e.g. by making it clear that there is demand for such a feature, or by project-specific contributions? Peter
