General ⇒ How to jump to correct page in Yap?

[migdalskiy]

I'm moving from LeD to TeXnicCenter, and I can't find how to set up TeXnicCenter so that preview jumps directly to the paragraph I'm typing.

In LeD, double-clicking the paragraph will highlight it in the preview. In TeXnicCenter, I had to page through Yap to find the page, and in a large document it's very annoying.

Is it possible in TeXnicCenter at all, or did I just not configure Yap correctly?

TeXnicCenter (TXC) in its current version doesn't support forward DVI search in this way. Remember that LEd has a built-in DVI viewer which supports this feature and it doesn't use Yap.

Of course, TXC supports dvi forward search. Just put this as forward search in the dvi build profile:

-1 -s %l"%bm.tex" "%bm.dvi"

This works but it's only a special command line argument for Yap thus independent of the editor. Moreover it is a default setting in the concerned build profile. And this is not what migdalskiy meant.

[...] In LeD, double-clicking the paragraph will highlight it in the preview. [...]

This special feature as requested is not supported by TXC at the moment.

Just type F5 or click the View Output button and you jump to the corresponding position in Yap.

Also, the "Wizard" in the Build Profile dialog will configure it automatically.
