What you really need is the document class articlethm.cls/sty exactly where/how you should install it depends on your LaTeX system.

reference
Hi there, I'm using Jabref to handle a bibliographic database, which I cite in LyX. http://jabref.sourceforge.net/ I use the vancouver style to format references. http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/vancouver/vancouver.bst Things are working, but when I insert a reference to a 'book' or 'inbook' I get a bibliography entry (in LyX), which looks like: [1] Lund PJ, Hansen TB. Progress in fibromyalgia and myofascial pain. Elsevier, Amsterdam; 1993. p.311-327 ..where I would have expected something like: [1] Lund PJ, Hansen TB. The relationship between pain and muscle strength. In: Værøy H, Merskey P. (Eds.) Progress in fibromyalgia and myofascial pain. Elsevier, Amsterdam; 1993. p.311-327 I.e the formatting of the reference is wrong. When I check the LyX output I find: Warning - can't ue both author and editor fields in Lund1993 Any suggestions?

Since I don't want to bug the developers with this vague error and I have done so many not normal things to my documents I rather try to find out myself first where things go wrong.

This should read lyx -dbg any but gives very much info. I guess that in this case lyx -dbg graphics would be better. To get a list of all possible debug switches, type lyx -dbg Georg
Emacs keybindings on Windows?
Are Emacs keybindings included in the Windows version? I looked but couldn't find them. If not, is there anywhere I could get them? Thanks for the great program! I knew there had to be a better way than conventional TeX. Chris
User-defined macros outside of math mode
The math macros are great. I'm wondering if I can similarly define macros with arguments outside of math mode. When I TeX I often define macros with or without arguments. Are these possible? Alternatively, can one define templates of text to insert with a keyboard command? Thanks, Rex
