Dear Richard, Thankyou for this vital piece of information. As you can tell I am a complete novice. Thanks for your time and patience. Best Mike

Anyway no point in installing remreset twice. Any thoughts on why it's not working. Do I need to declare the use of remreset.sty anywhere?

Do you want the equations to be numbered consecutively throughout the document and NOT to be reset in each section? If so, then the only way to do this, short of modifying the document class directly, is to use the remreset (or removefr) package, since there is no "remove reset" command in standard LaTeX. Once remreset is downloaded and installed, you should need just this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You'll still need this line: \renewcommand{\theequation}{\arabic{equation}} to control how equation numbers are displayed. If you DO want equation numbers to be reset in each section, so that you have 1, 2, 3 in section 1, and then 1, 2, 3 again in section 2, etc., then [EMAIL PROTECTED] should do the trick. But then a reference to equation 3 is ambiguous.

Have I followed your suggestion correcty, have I mispelt it. What next?

The command in preamble numbers the equation in each section .without the section number. I want the equation number in ascending order irrespective of section number e.g. 1, 2, 3 etc for section n (before they were numbered n.1, n.2 etc. I need to turn of a section counter maybe. Any help I should say I am using a J. Fluid Mech cls layout file which should do the trick since this is the journal eqn number style.

Add this line to your preamble or at the beginning of your document in ERT (assure that you use amsmath explicitely in the document preferences): \renewcommand{\theequation}{\arabic{equation}} regards Uwe Try the following (one additional line): renewcommand\theequation{\arabic{equation}} [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Jens
