In my latex documents I use some \input commands in the preamble (and sometimes elsewhere).

Sometimes I need to send the .tex file itself to some coauthors. In this case it would be nice to replace the \input commands with the actual content of the files they refer to so that I only have to send ...

that is excellent, thank you. This \mathchoice command is going to help me out in a lot of other regards as well. Many thanks!

so now i'm being quite picky, but this is partly as an interest in learning TeX better. In that one the expression appearing in the paragraph is superscripted, whereas I would prefer it to be subscripted. This seems to require some additional logic. I was trying something like this using the ifthen ...

thank you, that works well for stopping the line-spreading and I think I might use that, although its not quite what I was looking for...

My idea was more along the line of how \lim works. If I use \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} in a paragraph then the "n \rightarrow \infty" part ends up on the lower ...

I would like to make a custom command that does
\stackrel{d}{\rightarrow}
when inside an equation, but does
\rightarrow_{d}
when (in mathmode) in a paragraph. (In order to avoid spreading lines in paragraphs.)

I know how to make very simple custom commands, but this is a step beyond my knowledge ...

\middle command..excellent, works great. Thanks to all for the replies!

I'm trying to get something like

E \left( Y \vert X \right)

...the complication is that frequently Y (sometimes X) is a tall expression, like a fraction, and I would like \vert to comform to the size of the taller of Y or X.

I was surprised that I couldn't find anything on the web for this since ...

Success! :o

First of all, thanks for the hints. Things didn't go all that smoothly, of course, but who would expect that? :)

Here are the problems I remember, in approximate order...

1. "taskkill" is a windows XP command. If you use Windows 2000 (like me) then the appropriate command is simply ...

I've started using FoxIt instead of Acrobat (a great improvement!) and got it to work fine in TeXniccenter except I haven't figured out a way to have the document automatically be closed before I open it again. I'm thinking this might not be possible since FoxIt doesn't have DDE support, but does ...
