Hope you were not offended by the suggestions. As has been said the
document can easily be exported as plain ascii and a a 'wc' done on that
so I do not think the function is an urgent one. Longer term though it may
be of use as more people start using Lyx having no concept of command

Of course not. I was just trying to discourage people for asking for
the feature :)

I sympathise with this, but I hope that you *will* plan the feature for
the next version.

Hmm, I should maybe not have answered here... Now I have to actually

Hi all,
the simplest way I found to word-count documents is to export to ascii (to
get read of latex non-words) and using then wc (standard unix utility).
