This is a topic only partially related to BibTex and, BTW, not wholly correct. Maybe You should take a look on chapter 12 in "The Latex companion (2nd ed.)", where You can find several possible solutions. >From my point of view, the core problem is that both Lyx and Latex are used by a minority of all document producers. Thus, the perspectives for making money by developing packages and styles is not very promising (even if the users were ready to pay for such solutions). The consequence is that users encountering problems, limits etc. must find proper solutions by themselves. This, in turn, requires not only knowledge above the level of an "average" Word user, but also time. Kind regards, Kimmo
