natbib | Typeset "and" instead of ampersand

I found the answer that works for me after a lot of searching. It produces 'and' instead of an ampersand for multiple author citations in both the citations and references.

Add this line in the preamble when using the natbib package:
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\harvardand}{and}}

Re: natbib | Typeset "and" instead of ampersand

I am back to searching for a solution because I need to submit a paper with 'and' rather than ampersand in the citations. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a solution while staying with natbib.

Anyone have a solution?

Re: beamer | Bibliography over several Frames

I manually create a bibliography across several Beamer frames. Some time ago, I searched for an automated solution like you and recall that there isn't a good one.

More specifically, I cut and paste references across multiple Beamer frames until I get an appearance that is satisfactory. To ease ...

natbib | Typeset "and" instead of ampersand

I'm using the natbib package. My documents have citations with ampersands rather than 'and.' 'Smith & Jones (2005)' rather than 'Smith and Jones (2005)'. How do I get citations with 'and' in the natbib package?

I searched online for a solution but I can't find any straightforward way in natbib. I ...

I'm attempting to use \include to bring the child file chapter1.tex
into the wrap file but I'm getting ...

Folder structure/ version control & parent-child files

TeX doesn't care where you put your files. If you have your files in /wrap/chapN/chapN.tex, you have to \include{chapN/chapN} in LaTeX....if your files are in /wrap/chapN/trunk/chapN.tex, just \include{chapN/trunk/chapN}, etc.

I had already tried this but Tex stopped compiling my document and ...

Folder structure/ version control & parent-child files

I'm looking into a version control system (Bazaar) for the first time to manage my dissertation writing. I'm writing my diss in separate tex files and bringing them together into a parent (wrap) file with \include{chap1.tex}, \include{chap2.tex}, etc.

I'm having a problem in identifying the proper ...

Re: preview-latex does not show any pictures

I'm new to emacs and Auctex. After spending many hours trying to get preview working, I came across this thread for the solution.

Downgrading from Ghostscript v. 9.02 to v. 8.71 worked for me.

My set-up:
Windows
GNU Emacs 23.3.1
Auctex 11.86-e23.3-msw (precompiled)

I also discovered a second ...

Tables problem with cell contents using Excel2LaTeX

When I use Excel2LaTeX to convert a portion of an Excel spreadsheet to TeX code for a table, I sometimes run into a problem that appears related to the number of characters in a cell.

When I have a spreadsheet with cell contents of approximately 10 characters or more, Excel2LaTeX produces LaTeX ...
