Hello, I just saw this thread now, but I would like to add something as I have done the same (submit a paper to Elsevier) on Monday. The following worked for me. I used one document, two .bib files, and all 10 figures were eps and in the same directory as the Lyx file.
- Use the elsarticle class. (http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Elsevier) - Export as LaTeX (normal) - Export as LyX-Archive - Remove myarticle.lyx from the archive, add myarticle.tex instead. - Upload zip When previewing in LyX, use ps2pdf, as it may give different results than pdflatex (in my case, wrong cropping of eps figures). I needed no fine tuning of the TeX file, only had to add some Elsevier-specific lines of TeX code.

High everybody thanks for your input - all of you were right and had some useful info. One in particular (Liviu - with the LyX archive) helped to identify graphic files which needed to be included. Important things I learned: 1) Journals want flat file structure 2) only submit one .tex, otherwise the system is confused 3) include the bbl in the .tex - I think this was necessary, but might have been caused by two .tex files 4) It is very useful, to have a good LaTeX editor to do the fine tuning (I used kile)\ 5) tikz is very nice, but they seem to use an old version. So I used the pdf as created by LyX for the preview instead. Overall, long winding road - but it is done now. Thanks, Rainer
