- Handy Hints
- ===========
-
- Ñ Hitting Command-C or Command-Dot will interrupt most time-consuming tasks.
- It might take a few seconds for OzTeX to actually respond.
-
- Ñ Hitting the arrow keys is equivalent to clicking in the scroll arrows of
- an active OzTeX window or view window.
-
- Ñ When viewing a DVI file:
- - Click-and-drag within the viewing area to zoom in to the selected rectangle.
- - A simple click will zoom in by halving the scale factor.
- - Command-click will zoom in by decrementing the scale factor.
- - Option-click will zoom out by incrementing the scale factor.
- - Shift-click will zoom out by doubling the scale factor.
- - A beep occurs if you can't zoom in or out any further.
- - The box in the lower left corner of the View window shows the position of
- the cross cursor in paper coordinates. Click in this box to change units.
-
- Ñ If you hold down the Option key while selecting "Print/View DVI..." then
- all types of files will be available for selection, not just the DVI files
- created by OzTeX. This lets you print/view a DVI file created elsewhere.
- If the file selected is not a valid DVI file then you'll get a warning
- message complaining about a "bad id byte".
-
- Ñ Use Shift-Command-W (or hold down the Shift key while selecting
- "View foo.dvi") to bypass the view dialogue box and display the most
- recently viewed DVI page (or page 1 if you haven't viewed anything).
-
- Ñ TeX always creates its .log and .dvi files in the current folder.
- A number of menu items (such as "TeX...") bring up the standard dialogue box
- allowing you to change folders and select a certain file. OzTeX makes the
- last displayed folder the current folder, even if you choose to Cancel.
- Remember this if you want to run INITEX in a particular folder.
-
- Ñ The print status box remains open until the very last page is printed.
- If you are printing multiple copies of a single page then it is safe to hit
- Command-C or Command-Dot after the first copy has been printed.
