Insert word count at end of the document
Hi, Is there a way to make the word count automatically appear at the end of the document (perhaps like a variable)? Thanks, Kevin.

I suppose that the Info inset could be adapted to this purpose---it's basically used to display things LyX knows about---but at present it isn't. rh

Certainly, if you're willing to use a script to generate the document. Have something like this in the document prefix: wordcount=32123 Then at the very end, put this ERT: \wordcount Then have a script that converts to text, counts the words via wc, then uses sed to change the wordcount=32123 line, then converts to dvi via latex, and converts to ps via dvips, then converts to pdf via ps2pdf. I do stuff like this all the time. This is how my eBook personalization scripts work.
