A better solution (it does not count the LyX key words) is to define a format name wordcount, whose viewer is "xterm -geometry 30x2 -e less", and define a text->wordcount converter whose command is "wc -w $$i > $$o". Or if you are lazy, just add the following lines to ~/.lyx/preferences: \format wordcount wc "Wordcount" "" \viewer wordcount "xterm -geometry 30x2 -e less" \converter text wordcount "wc -w $$i > $$o" ""
