hehe - I'll let you know what I make of it.

Is there a way to obtain a list of equations, similiar to that of \listoffigures, or \listoftables ?

Does anyone know of any simple LaTeX word count packages? I was hoping for something simple along the lines of:

\usepackage{\somewordcountthing}

TEXT...
\wordcount (to display the number of words in the text)

Preferably: Does not include reference or abstract or any of the tables of contents ...

Ah right - that's actually really useful to know. Thank you.

I'm sure I would in the context of a research paper - but I don't consider that a short document - even Phys. Lett. are a few pages long and require enough formatting to justify the LaTeX faf.

As for templates - i only ever use the class article and just sort of have a pre-amble i copy and paste in ...

I may try playing around with that another time then, thank you.

I see your point - I suppose if it was good i wouldn't need help though. heheh, ghost, WYSIWIG is a lot faster to learn than via textbook though - time may be of the essence *looks at clock - 44 Hours till hand-in*

Hey, I'm new on the board - originally came from LaTeX based frustrations, but the help has been so good and so quick, I fancy just sticking around for a bit. My experience with LaTeX starts and ends with what I'm mandated to do with it by my physics degree. Not that I don't like it (though ...

I found a WYSIWIG TeX editor - which for LaTeX noobs like myself - is like the holy grail of LaTeX. It's called BaKomaTeX

Catch is, they want $55 for it, so my question is, it worth the money? does anyone know if it is any good?
