Thanks. Yes I do want equations to be numbered consecutively. So I need to remove reset command. I'll follow your instructions. What's the best place to find the remreset package. Mike

Do you want the equations to be numbered consecutively throughout the document and NOT to be reset in each section? If so, then the only way to do this, short of modifying the document class directly, is to use the remreset (or removefr) package, since there is no "remove reset" command in standard LaTeX. Once remreset is downloaded and installed, you should need just this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You'll still need this line: \renewcommand{\theequation}{\arabic{equation}} to control how equation numbers are displayed. If you DO want equation numbers to be reset in each section, so that you have 1, 2, 3 in section 1, and then 1, 2, 3 again in section 2, etc., then [EMAIL PROTECTED] should do the trick. But then a reference to equation 3 is ambiguous.
