The problem is, that Lyx still produces errors. What could =20= be the problem then? This is the error-message: error: LaTeX Error: File `biblatex.sty' not found. description: \bibliography {}^^M *** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes) In the latex preamble I entered the following: \usepackage{bibgerm} % Unterst=FCtzung f=FCr deutsche BibTeX styles \usepackage{microtype} %Zuschaltung des Kernings \usepackage[style=3Dauthoryear,natbib=3Dtrue]{biblatex} \bibliography{} for the bibtex-toc-index (bibtex-literaturverzeichnis) I use "plain"-=20 style and database "articles" Thanks again for your help!
