Yes, I did look into the bst file but can't make much sense of the syntax, also looked at some documentation but it's probably faster to modify the bibliography by hand than studying that material. Unfortunately custom-bib doesn't have that setting. Alas there is probably plenty of advice on how to ...

How to make the quotations in your bibliography respect the quotation style the user has selected from Document>Settings>Language?

For example, let's say the bibliography style puts article names in quotes (e.g. IEEEtran), the quotes don't come out as specified in Settings. I'm currently using ...

Why isn't there an option to allow empty ...

I think I found the answer: In document settings "page layout" I changed format to A4 which is the standard printing paper size almost everywhere.

I'm trying to set 2 cm top and bottom margins, but it's not working. When I print the pdf created in lyx the margins are larger, about 3 cm. In fact not even the right/left margins come out exactly as I set them (they are printed smaller). Is there a setting I'm missing?

I have tried all the ...
