with package nomencl it's very easy to build a glossary with pagerefs or equationrefs. the only problem is that i have to run latex ba hand in fact of this command, which must run once: makeindex myFile.glo -s myFile.ist -o myFile.gls the only commands in preamble are \usepackage[refpage]{nomencl} \makeglossary and in text \printglossary it would be very nice, when lyx supports nomencl.... :-) Herbert -- http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/
