Re: Modifying the Table of Contents

Which document class are you using? Memoir, or something else?
Presumably you want spaces where the '.' symbols appear in your original
e-mail?
tocloft will not change the overall layout, as I understand it.

Re: Not getting DVI file

The approach to solving these problems is almost always to produce the smallest
(.tex) file that illustrates the problem. Start from a minimal file, and add
lines until adding a single line causes the problem. If you then post your file, someone will doubtless be able to help.
The log file often is ...

Re: LaTeX with Windows XP, not easy!

I use TeXnicCenter with XP with no problems.

If the .tex file is open (for editing), then pressing Ctrl+F7 should "build" the
file, and produce a PDF output. (I think the term "build" is an allusion to
building source code (a .cpp file, say) into an executable program. The process
is similar with ...

Re: Can't generate pdf file

I have also run into this problem occasionally. I find that simply
exiting and restarting TeXnicCenter solves the problem. (I experienced
this problem on a Windows XP machine. It doesn't happen very often,
but invariably, restarting helps. There are other posts about this,
I think.) I have never ...

Re: Make cleveref, memoir and hyperref work together

According to the memoir documentation, hyperref should be included as the last package. (I've never used cleveref, so I'm not sure if this comment is relevant to your example.)

HTH,

Re: character count

If I understand your question correctly, it might be easiest to use the
basic tabular environment, and right justify the text in the rightmost
column. Most introductory articles about LaTex should contain enough
information to get you started.

Re: How to give IF ELSE conditions for packages

Try using the ifthen package:

You can define a boolean value (for Vietnam, in your case) and then
conditionally include the lines you want. If you need an example,
let me know.

Re: Listing style for technical report

I recently started using the listings package:

http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/listings.html

It is language "aware" and can, optionally, highlight keywords in
different languages (C++, Python and so on).

There are many options for frames around the code, different fonts ...
