Robert, I would not say that it "cannot be done" (I have no idea of rewriting code). But I think numbering equations and referencing these equations to in the body text of the document are two entirely different things by comprehension. And if you could agree to this you might as well be prepared to agree that things are just fine as they are. Cheers and a big Bravo to LyX and its developers! Michael
