LyX does have an APA layout, so you should be able to use it. Check to make sure you do have the APA document class installed and that LaTeX can see it (run texhash as root) and then reconfigure LyX (Tools > Reconfigure). You can use Tools > Tex Info to check what LyX thinks is there.
I don't see an ACM layout. Anybody got one? It's unlikely it'd be hard to create one if not. As for references, natbib isn't a bibliography style but something more general. You can use apalike with it, to be sure. You can also use apacite by itself (and the apa.layout file seems to load apacite.sty, which you'd also want). Just choose "default" for your citation style and then, when you put the bibliography in its place (Insert > List >Bibliography), choose "apacite" as your style. Of course, you'll need to make sure that's installed, too. Richard B. Bogart wrote: > > Hello all, > > I'm new to tex/latex/lyx but need to write papers in ACM and APA > formats.
