Dear Uwe Nearly there. The command in preamble numbers the equation in each section .without the section number. I want the equation number in ascending order irrespective of section number e.g. 1, 2, 3 etc for section n (before they were numbered n.1, n.2 etc. I need to turn of a section counter maybe. Any help I should say I am using a J. Fluid Mech cls layout file which should do the trick since this is the journal eqn number style. Mike

Add this line to your preamble or at the beginning of your document in ERT (assure that you use amsmath explicitely in the document preferences): \renewcommand{\theequation}{\arabic{equation}} regards Uwe
