I find, from experience, that the best thing you can do is learn biblatex. Is this something you are willing to do? It has a very steep learning curve but is very well documented and supported. Your problem is trivially solved as well. Lyx can also use biblatex with a small amount of work that also very well documented.
~Ben, Back when I was in grad school (and doing a post-doc) in the early Pleistocene and publishing in journals the bibliographic style was Author. Year. Title. Volume:pages. So, that's what I kept doing. I see now that the preferred style has apparently changed so that almost all put the year at the end of the listing. Seems less than useful to me if the citation is author-year, why not list the bibliography the same way? Anywho, it really is a very minor issue. After all, I don't read the bibliographies in the white papers and other documents I produce for clients and regulators that have a bibliography and citations in the text. :-) Since it seems to be a hassle, I'll just let it go (again.) Thanks, Rich
