So, there is no way to count the number of objects at the beginning of the document, right? I need that for my PhD thesis. I have to state the number of figures and tables in the introduction. Found this script: http://folk.uio.no/einarro/Comp/texwordcount.html I was able to count number of figures in a test latex document but not sure if it work with LyX document (do not have LyX at the moment). Anyway, thank you, Uwe. Appreciate your effort! -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982. Be counted at: http://counter.li.org/ -- Spandex is a privilege, not a right.
