labels | Layout Problems for Business Cards

Hi,

I'm trying to print business cards using an image I have. I can't seem to get it to appear in the exact place it should. I tried many templates only but can't get anything to work. I also don't really know what I'm doing to get it to work by just telling it exactly where to go.

Here's my best ...

Re: Different author, same last name / surname, natbib

looking through it again, i can't see a way to affect how it's represented when citing the authors, even in the custom file.
so in the text it will only show the surname, but in the bibliography you can change how it is viewed. that's all i can manage.

and now it seems i wasn't able to help at all ...

Re: Different author, same last name / surname, natbib

also, do you get the hyphen in the bibliography treated as first name? When I use the hyphen with full first names it treats the second part as part of the surname.

Re: Different author, same last name / surname, natbib

if you make your own custom reference style you get the option to include initials.
just learning how to use this myself so no idea if it's possible to add an option within the package, sorry.

the only thing i can't see how to do is to change what the maximum number of names used for et. al in the text when referencing, just want to change it from the default 2 ...

reference style using biblatex

Hi,
Been looking through google and the document but can't find the answers, it's about control of the way references are shown in the bibliography.

Firstly i want to reverse the names in the reference.
The default is:
A. Smith, and B Jones
but i want it to show:
Smith, A. and Jones, B.

Secondly ...

Re: Harvard bibliography style

that kinda works for me
the only thing is that i already had a bibliography so have a few problems having to switch to harvard style.

edit:
only the first author's name is done correctly, (ie surname, initial) all the rest are initial, surname

secondly, how do you stop it thinking it's a name? say ...
