Thanks for the replies. While I understand the point in the last comment at http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8187 it is a pity. I believe I have seen a reference, possibly in APA5 or APA6 tthat suggests that well over 1,000 journals use APA Style , or some reasonable facsimile thereof.
Who knows how many academic institutions and fields of study require it? In fact, it was a nursing student's request that prompted my question. Nursing uses APA? Anyway I did a few updates to an OpenOffice.org APA 5 template that seems to be okay for student use with APA 6 and passed it on but it seems a shame not to catch a few users while they're young. ________________________________ From: José Matos <jama...@lyx.org> To: lyx-users@lists.lyx.org Sent: Saturday, December 8, 2012 1:49:24 PM Subject: Re: APA6 class with LyX?

So just because no one is working on it that is not a reason for despair. :-) -- José Matos
