Document Classes ⇒ After running code, want to not be at page 1

[maumau]

Which button to press if I want to run my code, so I can see what I have written. I do not want to jump to the start of my document, because then I have to scroll so much. And I want to run the code frequently to see if the math is looking good and correct or if forgot something.

I know this nice program must be able to do this, but not so tech-sawy, so I am also a bit challenged with formulating my question preciesly and searching old posts.

Normally I just press this PDF-Latex button and after this I pres the one with the Adobe symbol. Then you get a PDF, and you have to scroll from page 1 to the page where you are working, if this it what you want to inspect.

I have tried the brown bear, the white bear, the icons saying something with DVI and so on. I think I tried them all, but I dont get it. I have no prefernces in term of what type of document I get to look at after running the code, I just want to be able to frequently inspect what I am writing looks like.

Please help and thank you so much!

Hi maumau,

welcome to the board!

Please tell us the name of the editor you are using. We've got subforums dedicated to certain editors, but for your question you chose just LaTeX/Documentclasses, which is dedicated to document classes without regarding an editor or viewer.

Sorry about that, I use WinEdt. Thank you for helping me!

I figured out, that if run my code with the Latex button, and then use the blue DVI button that generates this Yap document, scroll down in this Yap document and leave it open, the next time it use the Latex button I can go look in the Yap document and it has not jumped to page 1.

But if anyone knows a simpler method I would really like to hear about it, cause I keep closing the Yap document by habbit, and then I am at status quo:-)

You could try another editor. TeXworks is slim and easy and offers the desired forward and inverse search. Current versions of MiKTeX and TeX Live install this editor, so perhaps you can try it without an installation.

I'm using it too, on Windows. On Linux I use Kile.
