Re: ps2pdf
if you write n your preamble:

it will deliver a much more readble pdf, but you might get a

Re: Bibtex and apalike
Hi I et. al means and others (in latin), and it is used in some bibliographich styles to supress authors names, when they are more than 3. Apa like will process such abreviation only in the citation, in the body of the text, but not in the bibliography, when all the authors are present. For instance for the citation (Biber et al., 1999: 01) it will print at the bibliography chapter: Biber, D. Conrad, S. and Reppen, R. 1999 Corpus linguistics.

search and replace
Hi,
I have to replace a regular expression in my thesis. But when i tried:
edit --> search/replace
I found out that I can't type any kind of accents, and this expression
has an aacute {á}. In terms of lyx codes (extracted form my doc's source
file) this expression should be something like:
est\i \'{a}
gios
I'm working under lyx 1.1.3
Thank you for your help.

you might use apalike, which formats your citation like: (author, year)
It is just to use apalike style in your bibtex references and type \usepackage

It 's also possible to use AMS styles which format the citations by its initials

thanks you all for the hints on the bibliography styles!!!
Now I'm trying to use a bibliography package called apacite, but some problems

I installed the package, wrote \usepackage {apacite} on my preamble and used

However, when I ask for a ps or dvi preview, the follwing error message appears:

style
Hi folks
I need a thesis style suitable for Lyx 1.0.1 and tetex-latex 0.9.2.
Despite of the fact I have downloaded UC-thesis style from
ftp.lyx.org:/pub/lyx/contrib it crashes when I try to see post scriptt, dvi
flies or when I ask it to be printed.
the error prints as follows:
!LaTeX error: There's no line here to end
i.26 \begin{document}
I am a real beginer on linux, lyx and latex and I don't have any idea how to
solve it or where to get a suitable style
Thank you
