I'm fairly new to LyX only used it this past 6 months for my masters
thesis. I have not come across a way to have it sequentially
number all
figures in a document.
Zan,
I believe that you're correct, and that my memory is faulty.
Looking at my
book (published 2005 and written using LyX) I see that figures and
tables
are numbered by the chapter. It's just been so long since I've
included
either of those in my articles or white papers that I mis-remembered.
In the preamble...
\usepackage{remreset}

\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{figure}}
