General ⇒ Under/over full boxes... finding

[Julian_S_Moore]

I'm using TXC 1.0RC1; the project is split across 45 files all "included" from one master document

Now the layout has been done I want to deal with the several hundred overfull/underfull boxes, but...

1. Clicking/double clicking on the "info" icon by each message doesn't do anything (similar problems with Error messages, but they were easier to find).

2. Some messages are like "... in lines 4--1" What does that mean?

Is there something wrong with my installation, am I doing something wrong? Any suggestion as to how to work through all these box problems?

Thanks

I got underfull boxes when inserting a line via \\.

might be that you used such code... I solved it it try and error.

Thx for the input, but the underfull boxes are just underfull... no \\ messing things up (the paragraphs just need a little tweaking in word order, or rewording, to fix it)

And I've just worked out why TXC wasn't highlighting the source where the underfulness was occuring: the file has to be already open - it won't open it automatically.

This has nothing to do with TexnicCenter. TxC just gives you the message that latex returns. Just look at the output and try to see if it can be improved.

I believe that aiding the user in going to the offending source code has everything to do with TXC and it works as I described (there is also a little red arrow in the line number column to highlight it... IFF the source file was already open); the source of the errors is of course the user

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your message. Your problem is that clicking on the message does not bring you to the line in the latex file? It works for me. Maybe you should try the alpha version of TxC.

[Julian_S_Moore]

My problem was that clicking on the message does not take me to the offending line if the file is not already open; once I'd realised that all I had to do was make sure all files were open and then proceed... all significant underfull/overfull boxes have now been dealt with.
