How to compile to current page?

Post by inmamy »

Hi all,

Is there a way, when I compile my tex file, for the output PDF to go straight to the page I was editing? I'm using Miktex with Winedit 6 in Windows 7. I know Mactex does this automatically but I can't figure out how to do it with Miktex.

I tried googling this question as well as searching within the forums but didn't come up with anything--maybe I wasn't using the right search terms.

Thanks in advance!

In MiKTeX, I believe you can hold down the ctrl key and then click to the paragraph you were editing and it will jump to the corresponding point in the PDF file, or vice versa (clicking in the PDF and jumping to the point in the .tex file).

Thanks for the reply--I tried and it doesn't seem to work. Maybe because I'm using Miktex through Winedit? Anyone else have a suggestion?

Ah, I see. I thought you just had the vanilla TeXworks setup. I don't know how you would configure it then. I wouldn't guess that Winedit would do it.
