Oops, I trailed off on a question near the end, it was: "Also, I need to insert diagrams that look like this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Porter_Value_Chain.png My options: Latex" and I forgot to add the GiMP, MAYBE scribus, or just using a table in Lyx...
Anyways, the Latex for something as complex as my example appears to be REALLY complicated. I'm guessing the GiMP is probably what I'll have to use. If it helps, here's my priorities, highest = 1, lowest = 5: 1) ***running header*** 2) **numbering and labeling tables and figures (numbered separately). 3) *best bibliography recommendation 4) if I used a bad approach to workaround any of my other issues 5) if you can recommend an easy approach to getting a similar diagram (I'm actually using a table inside of Lyx at the moment, but a pgf/TikZ signal type graphic, perhaps overlaid? might be very helpful, and I might like to use several of them in a row with words inside, but again, this is a low priority...) Again, thanks so much for your attention! I'm going to stop researching Lyx and Latex for a bit and get back to writing. Should I cross post this in the Latex Lyx forums?

To: "lyx-users@lists.lyx.org" <lyx-users@lists.lyx.org> Date: Wednesday, June 16, 2010, 4:57 AM I'm trying to format an article class document for submission as an assignment which requires a running header, 1 inch margins, double spaces, etc... under APA format. Headings style is set to default, should I change it? I'd like to have a short title at the top middle, and my name at one edge... I'm using Lyz and Zotero to handle my bibliography (fyi, seems to work), and I'm using the natbib option in Document Settings, and the "apalike2" style on the right click bibliography setting. Should I use "apa" style? It works too, and I'm not sure which one is best. Also, will I have problems using the natbib setting? According to http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apacite/apacite.pdf apacite may be the best implementation to date, but it's incompatible with natbib, and I think part of my problem is that I have very long abstracts, which are basically my notes on the works, and include %'s >'s /'s and ()'s. I erased the %'s but it still didn't work, and my notes heavily rely on the other symbols for diagrams and formulas... To get rid of the huge gutter I had to unclick default margins and give it 1 inch margins. I'm not sure what the other defaults are, so I said 1mm for head sep, and 1cm for head hight and 1cm for foot skip (please correct these if wrong, I'm not sure what they do...) My preamble in the document settings reads: " #yiv1358983027 p, #yiv1358983027 li {white-space:pre-wrap;} \usepackage{indentfirst} %\rhead{\textsc{Financial Services Operations Management} ~~~~~ \thepage}" The first line indents the first paragraph in section (which is usually not indented) The commented code was an non-working attempt to create a running header. I really need a running header. How do I center the level 1 heading? (I might not need to, but knowing would be great) How do I number and label tables I made in Lyx? (or figures)? Can I insert a reference in the label? Also, I need to insert diagrams that look like this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Porter_Value_Chain.png My options: Latex I need to answer these questions pretty soon, so anyone's help, as comprehensive as possible, would be greatly appreciated, and note I don't know much about LaTeX, so I'd like to stay above the hood if possible, though adding verbatim lines to the preamble is certainly ok. Thanks!!! Aaron
