Won't this look better as:

1. item 1
2. item 2
3. item 3
   [std text]
4. item 4
5. item 5

Select the std. text, (or just put the cursor there, if it is a single 
paragraph only)
then press ctrl+alt+rightarrow.  Or use the menu choice increase 
environment depth.


This way, the standard text becomes a part of item3, it gets indented, 
and the next item

automatically becomes number 4. This works great, and no ERT at all.

However, Lyx reset to 1 the enumeration after the standard text. How 
can I get around that problem. I looked on the Wiki and the closest I 
got to an answer is from Paul A. Rubin who wrote that 
\newcounter{myCounter} could be used.

If you really want _unindented_ standard text between numbered items, 
then sure,
it can be done.  But it is unusual, and require lots of ERT. You aren't 
trying to use

enumerate as a sort of section headings?

To do this, write item1, item2 and item3 and the std. text as usual.
Then make item 4 like this:
ERTSTART[4.]\setcounter{enumi}{4}ERTSTOPtext for item 4
Then you make item 5 as usual.

Note that item 4 and item 5 will be wrongly numbered inside lyx, but 
correct in view-dvi.

This because lyx don't parse the stuff inside ERT.

Also note that the ERT has to be the very first thing in item4, 
_nothing_ must come before it
or it goes wrong. And yes - the you are supposed to type in the brackets 
and the number four,

they are not part of the label.

This solution is inflexible, as you'll have to update the numbering of 
number 4 if

you delete item3 later.
