Notice that Paul's sound advice will only change the numbering in the final output NOT in Lyx. As far as I know there is still no way to change Lyx's on screen display accordingly. Just ignore it and check the pdf every once in a while to make sure Latex is producing the output you want Cheers, S. ______________________________________________________________ Stefano Franchi Department of Philosophy Ph: (979) 862-2211 Texas A&M University Fax: (979) 845-0458 305B Bolton Hall fran...@philosophy.tamu.edu College Station, TX 77843-4237
