Is there any way in a Writer document to set up a field based on the
results of a formula involving statistics. For instance, if I wanted to
display the number of paragraphs divided by 2?

John:
Some other alternatives to Brian's method.
1)
Insert | Fields | Other | Variables |Insert Formula
In the formula box at the bottom of the dialog type: PARA/2
Then click on the Insert button.
This will place a field in the document that calculates the number of
paragraphs by 2.
"The calculation is performed when in Preview".
"PARA" is a document property variable. This and the other Statistics
variables are discussed in Help under Formula
2)
Insert a table. (However many cells you may need)
In the cell enter: =PARA/2 (This will open up the formula tool bar)
Click the green check mark on the toolbar
This will give a paragraph count without having to Preview the document.
To get an updated count: Tools | Update (or F9) as Brian suggested
