So it seems all that was needed to do was to select the plainnat.bst as the bibliography style. Now it`s working fine.
I have another question, though: is it possible to configure the style in the references section when I added it the way I mentioned in my previous mail (that is, insert > List/TOC > BibTeX bibliography...)? I guess this configuration is controlled by some bst or sty file, but have no clue as to which, neither as how to edit them... Any help would be welcome. Thanks, and best regards, Eduardo On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 11:37 PM, Eduardo de Oliveira Horta <eduardo.oliveiraho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks!
