[spiegboy]

I use teXnicCenter, but i didnt find the function that enable me to just build part of document instead of the whole document. it takes me a lot of time to build the whole document again even with a minor correction.

Could you help?

It is recommendable to split the document into several files (i. e. for each chapter) and then merge them in the main file which includes the preamble by using the \include command. You can choose specific parts of the document by using the \includeonly command.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\title{Processing specific part of a document}
\author{spiegboy}

\includeonly{%
  chap1,
%  chap2,
%  chap3,
%  app1
}

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents
  \include{chap1}
  \include{chap1}
  \include{chap1}
  \appendix
  \include{app1}
\end{document}

In the sample code above there will only be the file chap1.tex included and processed.

Hi,

perhaps have a look here: Structuring Large Documents.

I found that winEdit is capable of this.
