Hi,
As far as I understand does LyX not have a straightforward word-count
routine. Often journals or publications put limitations on the number
of words, in which case a word-count would come in handy.
One can start the spell checker, and get the number at the end of the
checking. However, this is not a convenient option for longer documents.
Would it be useful to add a word-count routine?
Just a thought.
Rob.
PS:
Counting words in a document with math is, of course, not so trivial.
There seems to be a reasonable LaTeX setup for counting words at
ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/wordcount/
Useful for LyX?
Maybe a dailog, that allows you to set options, such as ignore/include
display-math environments etc.
