Re: Need help getting APA citing working

It works, only not it seems not to work with Natbib. From apacite's manual:

I consider natbib as the de facto standard with which other packages should
be compatible.
Unfortunately, apacite is still not entirely compatible with natbib. The
main incompatibility is that
different citation commands are used, so that it is not possible to use the
same document with
natbib or apacite.

 Hi,

 First, apa.layout is nowadays shipped with the regular install of LyX.

 Second, you might try to put the following line in the LaTeX preamble
 (Document  Settings  LaTeX preamble)

 \usepackage{apacite}

You may consider switching to biblatex (from standard bibtex) and
using the biblatex-apa style (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-apa).
Biblatex is not completely integrated with Lyx yet, so you may have to
write a few commands in ERT (i.e. pure Latex), but it works fairly
well once you get the hang of it. Look at the wikipages to get started
(http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex). I switched to using biblatex  a
couple of years ago and have no regrets---it is much more flexible and
powerful than bibtex. Moreover, it is clearly the way forward for
managing bibliographies in latex/Lyx. It is actively developed, with
an increasing user base, etc. If you are just starting in Lyx/Latex,
it may be wise to learn how to use it. However, I have no experience
with biblatex-apa. You may want to look at the manual to see if it
fits your needs.

Cheers,
