Copy it to your working directory and it should work.

The easiest way would be to place the STY file right in the same directory where you have the source code of your document. You then only need to include in the preamble.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{natbibspacing}

Packages are not added to TeXnicCenter itself, but to your LaTeX distribution. Since you are using Windows, I assume that your distribution is MiKTeX. You can place the STY in a directory inside the texmf tree.

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\tex\latex

The path on your system should look very similar and should be easy to find. Create a new directory for the package where you copy it to.

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\tex\latex\natbibspacing

Put the STY file in that directory and refresh the file name data base via MiKTeX Options (Start > Programs > MiKTeX > Settings) or open a console (command prompt) and type in a command to do that.

Code: Select all

texhash

Now your system knows that the package is aboard and can find it whenever it is needed. You can simply include it to your document as described above.
