Natbib without Bibtex Problem.

[econkramer]

Dear all,

I am using Natbib (lyx 1.5.4) for my bibliography. I have a problem with how
bibliography appear not in the text citation, but in the reference space at
the end of the paper.

I loaded the packages: natbib, citeref, hyperref,...

Then in the reference space I use the common tool from LYX: first, I set the
key, then the mark, finally my biblio elements. In text the quote appears
fine, using citet and citep, but the reference do not. At the end of each
element does appear the number [1], even though I have selected authoryear
in the biblio settings in document.

Example
References

Author, 2002, Title, Journal. [1]

Author, Author, 2003, Title, Journal.
[1]

Do you know how to fix this?

I don't think author-year citations work with the LyX-internal
bibliography stuff. The problem is that LyX (better, LaTeX) has no way
of telling what the author and year are. You need to use BibTeX if you
want author-year citations.

No, natbib works very well without bibtex (you have to put the author/year
information in the "label" part of the bibitem inset dialog, and you have to
use parens but no spaces, because natbib uses the parens as delimiters,
e.g. "Heck(2008)").

I cannot reproduce the reported problem. Econ, could you post a minimal
example?
