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.
