Reference Issue with TeXnicCenter and JabRef

I assume you do have the file annotatedbibliography.bib in the same directory of your main file. If so then after building the file (in TeXnicCenter), go to the same build menu and run BibTex , finally, build the file twice and hopefully the [?] will disappear and the correct reference will replace ...

Management of a Project

I'm not an expert in Kile, so I can only guess (aided by this ) because eclipse has this similar idea of a project. In fact, that's the only choice in eclipse even if you're writing 1 word (which is why stopped using it!).

Anyway, you still have to use \include or \input (because these are LaTeX ...

\usepackage{cases}
\begin{document}

1&$x\geq0$\label{positive}\\
0&$x<0$\label{negative}
\end{numcases}

See the second case \ref{negative} or the first ...

question about citation in the text

Let us see a copy of your bibliography entries, according to natbib documentation:

The natbib package will automatically switch to numerical mode if any
one of the \bibitem entries fails to conform to the possible author–year
formats. There is no way to override this, since such an entry would ...

Aligning figures imported from external file

Hi

I have figures in a separate file, their size make it possible for two figures to be on the same page. However, when I import the file into my main document, the figure that appears alone (the odd number figure) goes in the middle of the next page; lots of white space above it and below it!
