Hello

I'm getting a paper ready for CCECE conference. The conference has its own ccece06.cls file (attached to this message) in tex that is loosely based on IEEEtran.cls. A example .pdf is located at http://www.ieee.ca/ccece06/docs/ccece06-template.pdf

To use the class file, I downloaded it into my tex directory and ran texhash. Then I created a CCECE.layout file (see attached), placed it the .lyx/layout directory and reconfigured LyX. At this point I see CCECE layout in LyX and I can select at to be the document layout. However my document produces a number of errors that I do not see when IEEEtran layout is selected. First of all, the figure captions span columns. I have hacked the ccece06.cls file by replacing the caption definition with that from IEEEtran.cls and that did the trick.

The biggest problem however is with the References. I get three errors (see attached example test.lyx in which I pasted a reference from .bbl file
right into the document):

1) Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).  \begin{thebibliography}{10}
Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc,cm, mm, dd, cc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one! I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points. To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to deletetwo letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)

2) Missing number, treated as zero. \begin{thebibliography}{10}
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look up `weird error' in the index to The
TeXbook.)

3) Missing = inserted for \ifdim. \begin{thebibliography}{10}
I was expecting to see `<', `=', or `>'. Didn't.

Can anybody help me with this?

Thank you
LB
