General ⇒ All I want is a TeXnicCenter manual!

[ehenning]

My university has TC installed on some of the public machines, but it looks like the manual I assume came with the installation is gone. I can't find a manual or tutorial anywhere, and I hate using online help a little at a time.

Can someone please either post or tell me where to find a manual for TeXnicCenter? I don't need LaTeX help, but I would like to know more about TC features without the trial and error. Thanks.

Hi there,

If you're sure that the manual comes with the installation, you could check for it in the executable from the official website.

Once you donwload the executable, you can unpack it and see what happens inside.

Cheers

OK, but I don't actually know whether the manual was included, and I only have access to public machines, which won't let me run an .exe. Hence my original posting.

You wouldn't need to run the .exe, but open it with a decompression program.

However, the closet thing to a "manual" for TXC I know about it is contained in the help files you get if you press F1 while using it. Does F1 not work for you?

Thanks for the info.

All of the help functions work fine, but I would prefer to have info about how to use TXC organized into one document that I could read offline. (Just call me old-fashioned.) But it sounds like you're saying no such thing exists.
