However, there is an awkwardness in how this is shown in LyX. Doing what Riki said shows, to the left of the citation, a small glyph producing the horizontal fill. The citation appears to be on the left but prints correctly to the right. At other times a horizontal fill shows as a horizontal line and the text moves to the right. Regards Frank Salter
