Dear sir:

 

I am trying to produce a latex presentation using "foil" class (in pp4)
and pdflatex.  Combined with "natbib" package for author-year citation,
it gives a compilation error.  I am using the MikTex system.   Compiles
OK if I do not use "foil" class or "natbib" package.  

 

Can you help me? Thanks a lot! 

 

Sincerely,

Feiming Chen

 

 

Input file (a.tex) is:

 

\documentclass[landscape]{foils}        

\usepackage{natbib}

 

\begin{document}

 

\cite{deming}

 

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

\bibliography{a}

 

\end{document}

 

 

The bib file (a.bib) is:

 

@Article{deming,

  author =       {Deming, W. E. and Stephan, F. F.},

  title =  {On a Least Squares Adjustment of a Sample Frequency Table
When the Expected Marginal Totals Are Known},

  journal =      {Annals of Mathematical Statistics},

  year =    {1940},

  volume =       {11},

  pages =  {427-444}

}
