General ⇒ DVI Output instead of PDF

[xiso]

I'm using the MiKTeX & WinEdt in an Windows 8 (x64) environment.

When I try to use latex2html, it says "can't find/open a DVI file". However, I don't exactly know how to produce a DVI file, rather than a PDF file.

My purpose of using latex2html is to check grammar and errata in my document by using Word (copy contents in HTML & paste to Word).

I think the above is one way that I could.

My question is that how to produce a DVI file, rather than a PDF file.

There is no problem to producing a PDF file. Namely, when I compile the document, it generates a PDF file without a DVI file. No such DVI file in the folder.

If one of you have an idea, please reply.

Thanks.

Did you read the documentation? Use »TeXify« or »LaTeX« as shown in the first screen capture on this site.

I have found the problem in my MiKTeX system.

Before, "texify" and "latex" (and others) did not properly work. Thus, it did not produce a DVI file. After updating MiKTeX packages, I performed "Refresh FNDB" and "Update Formats" in the MiKTeX Settings. And "texify" and "latex" are work well.

So, there is no problem to use "latex2html" as well.


Thanks.
